Sudden deterioration of visual functions warrants comprehensive ophthalmic examination with evaluation for systemic association. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon disorder that can present with neurological deficits.

Management of CVT and hyperthyroidism hastened full recovery of visual functions.
