Abstract
An 18-month-old female with right compressive optic nerve atrophy caused by an ipsilateral distorted internal carotid artery is reported. She was refe rred to an ophthalmologist at 8 months of age with the complaint of unilate ral visual loss. Neuroimaging studies should contribute markedly to the det ermination of the causes of visual problems in young children. (C) 2000 by Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
