متن کاملAnterior ischaemic optic neuropathy: what do we know and what do we still need to know?
Anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most frequent cause of unilateral papillary edema in patients over 45 years of age. Two main entities can be differentiated in AION: the non-arteritic form (NAION) which constitutes 96% of cases and has an estimated incidence in the USA of 2.3– 10.2 cases for every 100,000 inhabitants1; and the arteritic form (AAION), considered to be an additio...
