description Headache is a frequent complaint in COVID-19 while intracranial hypertension leading to acute vision loss is unusual. A 49-years-old female presented with persistent headache and vision loss and was found Covid 19 positive. Investigations suggested Covid 19 associated intracranial hypertension. She improved with medical management but again presented with acute vision loss. The visual loss was managed by endoscopic optic nerve fenestration surgery. She had significant recovery in vision during follow up period. Persistent headache in Covid 19 should have a high index of suspicion for idiopathic intracranial hypertension to avoid irreversible vision loss.
