Recurrent ischemic optic neuropathy*

Abstract

The involved pupil in the syndrome of aberrant regeneration of the oculomotor nerve usually remains larger than the uninvolved side, or approaches equality in size. A 4-year-old child was seen with congenital aberrant regeneration of the right third nerve. The right pupil was consistently smaller than the left, but particularly so in dim illumination. The question can be raised as to whether relative pupillary miosis more commonly follows third nerve misdirection in children than adults.

Thrombophilic risk factors in the pathogenesis of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy patients

“…There seems to be high correlation with regard to the visual acuity between the affected eyes [22]. Recurrent attacks in the same eye, although uncommon, may also occur [23,24]. The subsequent visual acuity or visual field loss may be devastating, and can lead to serious visual impairment.…”

“…Επανειληµµένες προσβολές στον ίδιο οφθαλµό, αν και δεν είναι συχνές, µπορεί να συµβούν [28,29]. Η επακόλουθη µείωση της οπτικής οξύτητας ή η έκπτωση των οπτικών πεδίων µπορεί να είναι αρκετά σοβαρή για τον ασθενή.…”
