This several month old infant has eyes looking downward and bilateral upper eyelid retraction. We call this the "setting sun sign" as the eyes appear to be "setting". This child has nothing wrong with the eyes but this is a sign of increased pressure in the brain.
This several month old infant has eyes looking downward and bilateral upper eyelid retraction. We call this the “setting sun sign” as the eyes appear to be “setting”. This child has nothing wrong with the eyes but this is a sign of increased pressure in the brain.
This child was diagnosed with a brain tumor which has been operated on. It was benign.

We do a lot of pediatric neuro-ophthalmology at the Hall Eye Center.
