Posterior Vitreous Detachment Associated with Non-arteritic Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy

Abstract: It has been hypothesised that non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy is caused by vitreous traction on the optic nerve. The authors recently took care of a patient who developed a posterior vitreous detachment shortly after she was diagnosed with non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy. Her visual field spontaneously improved after the posterior vitreous detachment. This case report provides some evidence that non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy, vitreous traction, and posterior vitreous detachment may… Show more

“…Despite the widespread use of OCT in clinical evaluation of optic disc edema, there are almost no cases of documented VPT in NAION. Shen and MacIntosh report one case of acute NAION with symptomatic development of ipsilateral PVD 2 weeks later in association with worsening then subsequent improvement of the visual field defect (71). They acknowledge OCT was not performed at presentation to confirm vitreopapillary traction was present at the time of NAION onset.…”

“…Conversely, should vitreous attachments be present with substantial gel still within the hyaloid sac, interventions might be in order (68)(69)(70)(71)(72). Prospective studies determining the likelihood of same eye progression, or of second eye involvement, as a function of vitreous status would be of use.…”
