Abstract
We have described a case of craniometaphyseal dysplasia in which decompression of bilateral optic canals for treatment of threatened damage of the optic nerve resulted in bilateral visual loss. We speculate that a specific mechanism exists whereby decompression of the optic canal can cause blindness.
