She manifested a progressive visual loss after an episode of lumbar pain. This progressive loss led the patient in a 6-month period to legal bilateral blindness: visual acuity inferior to 2\/20 in both eyes and severe constriction of both visual fields.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Several pathologic processes were discarded by means of multiple explorations and a general multidisciplinary analysis: physical pathology, simulating patient, schizophrenia, and the Briquet syndrome. Finally, she was diagnosed with a conversion somatoform disorder leading to a bilateral blindness. For 6 months, the patient was successfully treated with psychotherapy and a pharmacologic protocol. Total recovery was achieved with final visual acuity of 20\/20 in both eyes and normal visual fields.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Conversion disorders should be considered as an additional etiology of visual loss in children.
