Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy secondary to Posner-Schlossman syndrome in a twenty-six-year-old female.

Purpose: To describe a case of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) secondary to Posner-Schlossman syndrome in a twenty-six-year-old female.

Observations: A 26-year-old female presented with painful visual loss of the left eye, elevated intraocular pressure of 38 mmHg, and trace to 1+ anterior chamber cell. Diffuse optic disc edema in the left eye and a small cup-to-disc ratio of the right optic disc were evident.

Comparison of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer loss and visual outcome in fellow eyes following sequential bilateral non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Aim: To report on the correlation of structural damage to the axons of the optic nerve and visual outcome following bilateral non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records of 25 patients with bilateral sequential non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy was performed. Outcome measures were peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measured with the Stratus optical coherence tomography scanner, visual acuity and visual field loss.

Long-term retinal nerve fiber layer changes following nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Background: In cases of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness changes have been described during the first 12 months following the acute event. The purpose of this study was to report on the long-term RNFL changes in these eyes beyond the first year following onset of NAION.

Methods: Fourteen eyes of 13 patients with NAION were analyzed in this retrospective observational case series study.

VZV ischemic optic neuropathy and subclinical temporal artery infection without rash.

A 75-year-old woman developed periorbital pain and blurred vision OS. Visual acuity (VA) was 20/40 OD, 20/400 OS with mild left relative afferent pupillary defect (APD). Left optic nerve was swollen and hyperemic with peripapillary flame hemorrhages (figure, A).
