Misdiagnosed case of acute angle closure caused severe visual field defects
In this case report, a 33-year-old pregnant woman with migraine and visual aura complained of headache, nausea, and blurred vision. Clinically, she presented with bilateral dilated and fixed pupils, ptosis, and tearing. She was erroneously diagnosed as having a migraine attack, but after referral to an ophthalmological department she was diagnosed with bilateral acute angle closure. At one-year follow-up her visual acuity was normalized but the severe visual field defects affected her daily activities and prevented her from having a driving licence.
