Diffusion-weighted imaging in posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Optic Neuropathy We read with interest the case report by Mathur et al in which they have described an acute ischemic event in the posterior part of the intraorbital optic nerve consequent to rhinocerebral mucormycosis and its early detection by diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DW-MR imaging). In this regard, we would like to report another similar case that we came across in our tertiary care in...
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 کاملAcute Posterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Mimicking Posterior Cerebral Artery Stroke Visualized by 3-Tesla MRI
Acute ischemic lesions of the posterior optic nerve and optic tract can produce a variety of visual field defects. A 71-year-old woman presented with acute hemianopia, which led to rt-PA thrombolysis for suspected posterior cerebral artery ischemia. 3-Tesla cMRI, however, revealed the cause to be an acute posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Cases like this may be more common than thought and q...
متن کاملposterior ischemic optic neuropathy following percutaneous nephrolithotomy
purpose: to report a case of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (pion) following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (pcnl). patient and findings: a 57-year-old male who underwent pcnl because of renal stone was referred due to painless bilateral visual loss to the level of light perception immediately after the operation. the patient had history of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and mild anemia....
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...
