Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, Non-arteritic

Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, Non-arteritic
Ischemic infarction of the optic nerve is referred to as ischemic optic neuropathy. The non-arteritic form of the disorder nearly always involves the anterior portion of the nerve. Consequently, optic disc swelling is consistently present in the acute stage, as in this case. Typically, the disc swelling is mild-to-moderate and is associated with multiple splinter and flame hemorrhages. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most common cause of optic nerve-related visual loss in the elderly.
