PURPOSE To describe a case of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) secondary to acute primary-angle closure (APAC). METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 50-year-old woman with painful visual loss in the right eye was found to be in APAC with a right afferent pupillary defect. Laser peripheral iridotomy relieved pain but did not improve vision. Diffuse optic disc edema in the right eye ...

BACKGROUND To analyze the most common neurophthalmological conditions that may mimic glaucomatous optic neuropathy and to determine which most often lead to misdiagnosis when evaluated by a glaucoma specialist. METHODS We reviewed the charts of consecutive patients with optic neuropathies caused by neurophthalmological conditions screened in a single Eye Clinic within a period of 24 months. W...

INTRODUCTION An "overlap syndrome" is defined as the sequential appearance over time of two or more risk factors for glaucomatous damage. The appearance of a new risk factor can alter the course and prognosis of previously stable disease. Exfoliation syndrome is a leading cause of glaucoma and is associated with vascular disease. We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion and non-arte...

Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is one of the most common conditions affecting the optic nerve in the elderly. It may lead to severe visual loss. Typical symptoms are painless impairment of visual function accompanied by relative afferent pupillary defect, edema of the optic disc and visual field defects. Aim is to present 38 patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic n...

Introduction: Non-arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy is the most common type of ischemic optic neuropathy. Nearly half NAION patients presented with 20/30 or better visual acuity. Central vision often preserved relative to field loss. Macular edema in patient rare, and its occurrence may confuse other disease lead unnecessary treatment.
 Case Report: We identified three macular edema. The...

PURPOSE Neuroborreliosis may cause various neuro-ophthalmological complications. We describe a case with a bilateral optic neuropathy. CASE REPORT A 58-year-old female developed facial paresis six weeks after an insect bite. One week later she developed bilateral optic disc swelling with haemorrhages and nerve fibre bundle defects in the lower visual field of the left eye. In CSF and serum, r...

Optic neuropathy is a group of diseases the optic nerve. Using diagnostic techniques such as ophthalmoscopy and perimetry diagnosis are insufficient, found abnormalities not specific for either inflammation or ischemia. Establishing predominant factor in pathogenesis crucial determining method treatment.
 The aim study: to investigate features nerve damage using optical coherent tomography...

Purpose : to determine objective echographic criteria for the differential diagnosis of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and neuritis (ON). Material methods . The research involved 60 patients aged 40 years, including 30 with suspected AION ON. control group consisted healthy volunteers. In addition standard ophthalmological examination, all underwent ultrasound nerve s examination mea...
