متن کاملBilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after bilateral neck dissection
PURPOSE The risk of visual loss after nonocular surgeries is very low, between 0.2% and 4.5%. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, ischemic optic neuropathy has been reported mostly after spinal surgery (54.2%), followed by cardiac surgery and radical neck dissection (13.3%).

متن کاملBilateral Simultaneous Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Associated with Sildenafil
We report a case of simultaneous bilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) due to sildenafil use. A 55-year-old man with an unremarkable medical history presented simultaneous bilateral NAION 8 months after continuous use of sildenafil 4-5 times a month. At presentation, visual acuity (VA) was 0.7 in the right eye (RE) and 0.9 in the left eye (LE). The visual field showe...
متن کاملMRI findings in Post-operative Bilateral Posterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy.
A 62-year-old female complained of vision loss following multiple abdominal surgeries for mesenteric ischemia. The patient’s visual acuity was no light perception (NLP) in the right eye and hand motion (HM) at 1’ in the left eye. Both pupils were unreactive and no relative afferent pupillary defect was noted. Anterior segment and fundus examination were unremarkable. T1 and T2 weighted MRI imag...
متن کاملDiffusion MR Imaging of Postoperative Bilateral Acute Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
A 57-year-old woman experienced bilateral acute ischemic optic neuropathy after spine surgery. Routine MR imaging sequence, T2-weighted image, showed subtle high signal intensity on bilateral optic nerves. A contrast-enhanced T1 weighted image showed enhancement along the bilateral optic nerve sheath. Moreover, diffusion-weighted image (DWI) and an apparent diffusion coefficient map showed mark...
