Bilateral optic disc swelling is a common finding but rarely associated with multiple cranial neuropathies. In this case, an 18-year-old male presented with subacute sequential hearing loss followed by subacute sequential visual loss. Clinical examination revealed bilateral optic disc swelling. Lumbar puncture revealed a normal opening pressure of 15 cmH2o. This case discusses a rare but important cause of bilateral optic disc swelling in the context of hearing loss, disequilibrium and a normal CSF opening pressure. An overview of the literature is provided and treatment options are discussed to guide further management of similar cases.s
