Foster Kennedy syndrome is a constellation of findings associated with tumors of the frontal lobe.[1]
Although Foster Kennedy syndrome is sometimes called "Kennedy syndrome",[2] it should not be confused with Kennedy disease, or spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, which is named after William R. Kennedy.
Pseudo-Foster Kennedy syndrome is defined as one-sided optic atrophy with papilledema in the other eye but with the absence of a mass.[3]
