Optic Disc in Hypoparathyroidism

Optic Disc in Hypoparathyroidism
The left optic disc is no longer swollen, but does exhibit mild disc pallor, greater superiorly. An inferonasal step was present on visual field testing. A lumbar puncture revealed normal intracranial pressure (ICP). In patients with disc swelling in the setting of hypoparathyroidism, ICP may be either normal or elevated.
