PURPOSE We evaluated fundus and fluorescein angiography (FAG) findings and characteristics that can help distinguish nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) from optic neuritis (ON). METHODS Twenty-three NAION patients and 17 ON with disc swelling patients were enrolled in this study. We performed fundus photography and FAG. The disc-swelling pattern, hyperemia grade, presence...

Introduction: Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the second most common in adults. Since circulatory insufficiency presumed to have a role pathogenesis of NAION, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) suggested as tool assessing NAION patients, while (OCT) can detect structural changes. This case report aims describe congruity visual field defect with OCT and OCTA resul...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by vascular thrombosis or pregnancy morbidity. Ocular involvement in APS includes a broad spectrum of manifestations involving anterior and posterior segment or the presence of neuroophthalmologic features. Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a very rare finding, and in this report a case having NAION...

BACKGROUND The objective of this report is to describe the methods used to develop and validate a computerized system to analyze Humphrey visual fields obtained from patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and enrolled in the Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial (IONDT). The IONDT was a multicenter study that included randomized and non-randomized patient...

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a widespread visually disabling disease in the middleaged and elderly population. Based on clinical observations by Hayreh, Beck, Savino and others, a low cup/disc diameter ratio and a small optic disc have been described to be structural factors associated with the disease. The physiological correlation between disc size and cup/disc...

Purpose. To compare optic disc topography performed by confocal laser ophthalmoscopy in eyes with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION), and open-angle glaucoma (OAG), adjusting for the amount of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss, as measured by nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness and average visual field loss. Methods. At fou...

purpose: to describe the association between optic disc traction and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (naion). methods: eighty three eyes of 83 patients with naion were evaluated by optical coherence tomography (oct) for detecting vitreous adhesion to the optic nerve head with separation from adjacent retina (partial posterior vitreous detachment). those who were negative for su...

BACKGROUND In cases of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness changes have been described during the first 12 months following the acute event. The purpose of this study was to report on the long-term RNFL changes in these eyes beyond the first year following onset of NAION. METHODS Fourteen eyes of 13 patients with NAION were analy...

PURPOSE To evaluate the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). METHODS We investigated 112 subjects comprising 56 patients with NAION and 56 healthy controls at Süleyman Demirel University. Complete blood count, demographic, and clinic data from NAION patients were evaluated in this study. The NLR was calculated in all in...
