We relate 2 patients cases whose age are 32 and 35 years affected by Foster Kennedy’s syndrom during a 10 years period in Brazzaville (Congo) Teaching Hospital. These two patients had progressive bilateral low visual acuity, papillary edema in one eye and optic atrophia in another one, in link with pituitary tumor. For all cases, betamethazone-based treatment associated to acetazolamid in bolus by intravenous infusion and per os route has been set up.15 days later we have observed a decline of the papillary edema and the stability of vision acuity. The syndrom of Foster Kennedy is scarcely revealed into the african’s literature, the etiological diagnosis refers to computed tomography scan and especially brain magnetic imaging resonance. The etiological treatment remains essential and the prognosis depends onto it.
