A clinical case of a young man with rapid bilateral visual impairment developed 2 months after the onset of generalized convulsive seizures is presented. The replacement of valproate to levetiracetam led to the remission of seizures, but the prognosis for vision remains poor, particularly given the pessimistic results of optical coherence tomography (OCT).
