Foster Kennedy Syndrome VS Pseudo Foster Kennedy Syndrome || Case Scenario

Foster Kennedy syndrome describes the clinical syndrome of unilateral optic atrophy with contralateral papilloedema caused by an ipsilateral compressive mass lesion.
Pseudo-Foster Kennedy Syndrome is described as unilateral optic disc swelling with contralateral optic atrophy in the absence of an intracranial mass causing compression of the optic nerve. This occurs typically due to bilateral sequential optic neuritis or ischaemic optic neuropathy.
