Internal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysms (IC-OA) are rare lesions that become symptomatic only when they are quite advanced or when complicated by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We report a case of IC-OA aneurysm in a middle-aged lady who presented with relative afferent pupillary defect, optic disc pallor, significant color vision impairment, and rather preserved visual acuity in the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a fuso-saccular aneurysm of the ophthalmic segment causing a pressure effect on the optic nerve. This case emphasizes the importance of careful ocular examination supplemented by neuro-imaging in cases of unexplained visual loss. Early detection can prevent a potentially fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
