Atypical Course of Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (Clinical Case)
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the clinical observation of a patient with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The study also includes analysis of the scientific literature on this topic. The clinical picture of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is characterized by sudden loss of vision, edema and hyperemia of the optic disc, relative afferent pupil defect. However, in the practice of an ophthalmologist there may be other manifestations of this disease, which are described in the article during the analysis of a clinical case. In the clinical case presented in the article, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy was characterized by long-term retention of high visual acuity even with the development of edema of the optic disc, followed by the development of a typical clinical picture.
