By estimating cup/disc ratios in fellow eyes it has been assumed that nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) occurs more often in small optic nerve heads. Correcting the photographic magnification we used absolute size units to measure 33 affected and 25 fellow optic discs with nonarteritic AION and 7 affected and 7 fellow optic nerve heads with arteritic …

Mar 06, 2010 · Glaucoma and end-stage nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) are two diseases that cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve. The damage in glaucomatous eyes appears as acquired excavation of the optic nerve head ("cupping"), whereas the end result of NAION is optic disc pallor.

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) can be arteritic (due to giant cell arteritis) or non-arteritic. Most cases of AION are classified as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which is the most common cause of acute unilateral optic neuropathy in older individuals. NAION is presumed to be due to ischemia of the

Aug 22, 2021 · Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy occurs due to decreased blood supply to the optic nerve head. It is divided into a) Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (A-AION) and b) Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). These two conditions have entirely different ethology and approach to their diagnosis and management is completely different.

Of 171 patients with AION, 4 had biopsy-proven giant-cell arteritis (GCA). The relative frequencies of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in this Arab cohort were 2.3% and 97.7%, respectively.

Sep 22, 2021 · Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common form of ischemic optic neuropathy. It is an idiopathic, ischemic insult of the optic nerve head characterized by acute, monocular, painless visual loss with optic disc swelling. This topic will discuss the prognosis and treatment of NAION.

In patients with the most common type of ischemic optic neuropathy, nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), the microvascular ischemia predominantly affects the intraocular portion of the optic nerve. NAION most commonly occurs in eyes with small, "crowded" optic disks and usually does not result in optic disk excavation.
