We describe a patient with pseudotumor cerebri with apparent unilateral opticociliary venous shunt vessels. Pseudotumor cerebri can cause, macular star, sub-retinal neovascularization, subretinal and preretinal hemorrhage, choroidal folds in the posterior segment. We are presenting unilateral opticociliary shunt vessels with choroidal folds and visual field changes after treatment.
