Linezolid-induced optic neuropathy: a mitochondrial disorder?
We report a case of bilateral mitochondrial optic neuropathies secondary to long-term linezolid treatment, show the nature of recovery, review the findings in the literature and propose a potential mitochondrial mechanism for linezolid-induced mitochondrial optic neuropathy. This is an observational case report and literature review with presentation of the clinical course of linezolid mitochon...
متن کاملMedical Management of Hereditary Optic Neuropathies
Hereditary optic neuropathies are diseases affecting the optic nerve. The most common are mitochondrial hereditary optic neuropathies, i.e., the maternally inherited Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA). They both share a mitochondrial pathogenesis that leads to the selective loss of retinal ganglion cells and axons, in particular of the papillo-macular bu...
متن کاملInherited mitochondrial optic neuropathies
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) are the two most common inherited optic neuropathies and they result in significant visual morbidity among young adults. Both disorders are the result of mitochondrial dysfunction: LHON from primary mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations affecting the respiratory chain complexes; and the majority of DOA families ha...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction as a cause of optic neuropathies.
Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as central players in the life and death of cells and especially of neurons. The energy-dependence of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and their axons, which form the optic nerve, is singularly skewed. In fact, while mitochondria are very abundant in the initial, unmyelinated part of the axons anterior to the lamina cribrosa, their number suddenly decreases ...
متن کاملA Review of Mitochondrial Optic Neuropathies: From Inherited to Acquired Forms
In recent years, the term mitochondrial optic neuropathy (MON) has increasingly been used within the literature to describe a group of optic neuropathies that exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Interestingly, MONs include genetic aetiologies, such as Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA), as well as acquired aetiologies result...
متن کاملNatural History of Visual Loss in Lhon and Doa
The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advances in our understanding of the clinical presentation, genetics and even the pathophysiology of the hereditary optic neuropathies, specifically Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA)1-4. We now know that most of the hereditary optic neuropathies, including LHON and DOA, have a pathophysiology reflecting a fin...
