Abstract
A hydrocephalic child with a V-P shunt developed transient blindness following shunt revision. A year later, visual function deteriorated when shunt malfunction occurred. Following shunt revision, the child regained sight. The effects of intracranial hypertension and hypotension on the visual pathways are discussed.Keywords
