Sudden Unilateral Loss of Vision in a Young Girl: A Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: : A casual association seems to exist between the onset of intracranial hypertension (IH) and growth hormone (GH) therapy. Children receiving GH treatment, if they complain of headaches or visual difficulties, should undergo detailed ophthalmological evaluation. Herein, we report a young girl who was receiving GH treatment for idiopathic short stature, and due to the adverse effects of GH, she developed intracranial hypertension, as a result of which, she developed unilateral blindness.
