Summary

Authors are presenting the case report of rare „inverse“ Syndroma Foster Kennedy, which was at the beginning, the reason of diagnostic dilema. Authors are discussing the presumable source of clinical symptoms based on results of graphical investigations caused by the intracranial meningeom. Unless the clinical symptoms will not be satisfactorily explained – central scotoma with optic atrophy and papilledema in the opposite eye by the ophthalmology origin, it is necessary to indicate the graphical brain examinations and exclude the intracranial tumour.

Key words:
Syndroma Foster Kennedy – Magnetic resonance imaging – meningeoma
