In patients who present with the typical history of acute, painless, unilateral vision loss and who have the classic findings on examination including a hyperemic and swollen optic nerve with peripapillary splinter hemorrhages and a fellow eye with a small cup to disc ratio, no additional testing is required. This page was last edited on July 17, 2021, at 10:13. Eyeglasses do not correct the vision loss due to NAION. The natural history of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy. AAION causes a pallid edema that ultimately resolves leaving significant excavation and atrophy of the disc whereas NAION typically exhibits normal or hyperemic edema that resolves leaving relatively preserved disc substance [52]. 1999;213(2):76-96.

At 6 months, patients treated within 2 weeks with initial visual acuity of 20/70 or worse had visual acuity improvement in 69.8% compared to 40.5% in untreated patients (P=0.001). AION has two varieties. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is a condition no ophthalmologist—or patient—is happy to encounter; it comes on unexpectedly and can result in severe vision loss. Background: Non Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy in patients over 50 years of age. J Neuroophthalmol. Other studies have reported observing recovery of at least 3 Snellen acuity lines in 13% - 42.7% of patients [62][56][57][74][75][76]. It is presumed to result from a circulatory insufficiency, or infarct, within the retrolaminar portion of the optic nerve head that is supplied by the short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCA). We report a case of a 43-year-old Hispanic male with the classic presentation of NAION in the setting of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Ophthalmology. Although the majority of patients do not have accompanying pain, headache or periocular pain is reported in 8-12% of patients, which can make it difficult to differentiate from optic neuritis[66][62][67].

Feb 2009;32(1):86-87. in a retrospective case-controlled study looked at visual outcome in 23 patients being treated with aspirin before and during the course of NAION and compared them to 55 NAION patients who did not use aspirin. For a patient that has had NAION, it is probably reasonable to avoid taking high blood pressure medications before bedtime. Ophthalmology. It is helpful to classify these syndromes by location and etiology (if known) since their presenting signs and symptoms as well as treatment and prognosis will vary. They argue that NAION does not have the clinical characteristics of an arterial disease. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy caused by interferon alpha therapy. Oto S, Yilmaz G, Cakmakci S, Aydin P.

The blood supply to the optic nerve is blocked due to inflammation of the arteries (arteritis), most notably giant cell arteritis Giant Cell Arteritis Giant cell arteritis is chronic inflammation of large and medium arteries of the head, neck, and upper body. The controversy regarding steroid usage in NAION is far from settled, with strong opinions on both sides. 4-Aminopyridine in multiple sclerosis: prolonged administration. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. “Steroids Versus No Steroids in Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” Ophthalmology. This topic will discuss the prognosis and treatment of NAION.

However, it was unclear whether these cases of NAION are secondary to PDE-5 inhibitor intake, to the concomitant existence of cardiovascular risk factors or a combination of factors.2 Key Words: amiodarone, ocular toxicity, optic neuropathy, optic disc edema, whorl keratopathy, corneal verticillata, non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy Background Does optic disc appearance distinguish ischemic optic neuropathy from optic neuritis? Depending on other clinical factors, some blood work may be done to exclude other diseases that affect the optic nerve. Optical coherence tomography angiography in acute arteritic and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) refers to loss of blood flow to the optic nerve (which is the cable that connects the eye to the brain). Systemic hypertension, arteriosclerosis, vasospasm or medications may reduce the autoregulatory capacity of the optic disc [46][47]. Rootman J, Butler D.

Experimental optic cup enlargement caused by endothelin-1-induced chronic optic nerve head ischemia. Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) encompasses those conditions that result in ischemia to any portion of the optic nerve posterior to the optic disc. The diagnosis of NAION is a clinical one. The diagnosis is made on clinical grounds. The Optic Neuritis Study Group. inhibitory drug—improved visual acuity in the eye by reducing optic disc edema. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common cause of optic nerve-related, sudden and permanent loss of vision in individuals 50 years or older. As described earlier, optic disc edema from NAION likely contributes to a compartment syndrome in “crowded” discs and contributes to axonal damage as well as retinal ganglion cell apoptosis.

If the review of systems is positive for GCA then laboratory tests including ESR, CRP and platelets should be obtained and a temporal artery biopsy should be performed to exclude GCA. The interferons are a group of glycoproteins with complex antiviral, antitumor, and antiangiogenic activities. Subscribe to The Eye Manual. While they noticed a larger improvement in BCVA at 6 months in the steroid group (P=0.02), there was no significant difference in the final BCVA between treatment groups. 1972;164(6):449-462.

The IONDT was a randomized, single-masked, multicenter trial examining the safety and efficacy of optic nerve decompression surgery compared with careful observation alone in patients with NAION. The vast majority of cases of NAION are idiopathic but some specific etiologies have been reported to be associated with NAION although in all of the cases, no causal relationship has been definitively established. In patients treated within two weeks, the median time to resolution of optic disc edema was 6.8 weeks compared with 8.2 weeks in untreated patients (P<0.0001).
