Abstract
A non-communicative patient with vascular dementia who was admitted to hospital with non-specific symptoms. Ophthalmic emergencies are rare, however they should be considered as part of a systemic work-up in unexplained non-specific presentations, particularly in patients who are not able to communicate as in the case we present here.
