This case report presents a unique case of Parinaud Syndrome in a 47 year - old female patient, which was ultimately attributed to a pineal region tumor. The patient?s clinical presentation, radiological findings, treatment, and outcome are discussed in detail. This report underscores the importance of early recognition and prompt intervention in cases of Parinaud Syndrome, as it may be associated with serious underlying pathologies.
