description Asymmetrical disc edema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is an uncommon finding, with an unclear understanding. This report reinforces the importance of recognizing this entity in IIH diagnosis, and not misdiagnose the condition as unilateral disc edema. In this unique report, the causative association of asymmetric optic disc edema, with optic nerve kink, due to unilateral high myopia, is documented.
