While performing an examination of the eyes in a client of yours, you notice upwardly slanting palpebral fissures. When would this find be normal in a client? Secondly, when performing a retinal examination on this patient, you discover that the margins of the optic disc become blurred and indistinct.

Hi,

I would do MRI brain and optic nerves and also get a neurology opinion asap. It could be an ICSOL or a BIH.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
