小児期に水頭症が発症し,かつ10年来の脳循環障害による諸症状を示した65歳男性に,両眼性の緑内障様視神経萎縮と視野変化がみられた。パターン視覚誘発電位はP100の潜時延長が両眼にみられた。第3脳室の拡大による視交叉部の圧迫が強く疑われた。本症例の視神経萎縮は,視神経への第3脳室拡大による機械的圧迫と中枢神経系への慢性的循環障害が加わったためと考えられた。視神経障害像は低眼圧緑内障におけるそれときわめて類似しており,低眼圧緑内障における視神経障害の原因を考えるうえで興味深い症例と考えられた。
A 65-year-old male sought medical advice due to blurring of vision of recent onset. Chronic hydroce-phalus had been present since 12 years of age. The corrected visual acuity was 1.0 for either eye. The intraocular pressure was 8 mmHg each. Both eyes manifested typical glaucomatous disc cupping andarcuate scotoma.
Compression of the chiasma by enlarged third ventricle appeared to be the major contributing factor for the disc changes. Also, there was a history of ischemia of central nervous system, which seemed to be another contributing factor. It was our impression that the present case shared a common pathogenesis with low tension glaucoma.
