Twenty‐four‐hour rhythm of ocular perfusion pressure in non‐arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

Abstract: ABSTRACT.Purpose: In non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAAION) patients, circulatory insufficiency within the optic nerve has previously been hypothesized to be related to nocturnal systemic hypotension. The main objective of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the nyctohemeral variations in ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) in NAAION patients. Methods: In 20 patients with NAAION, the intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using the Tono-Pen XL TM electronic tonometer every hour fo… Show more

“…IOP in the lateral position was higher than supine position [16,17,18]. Postural changing that caused IOP may be also an important risk factor for the onset of ANAION [19]. Therefore, low DBP at night, high IOP and the low OPP are the main reasons for the occurrence of ANAION in the period from falling asleep at night to getting up in the morning.…”

“…Reductions in nocturnal blood pressure, in conjunction with the impairment of central retinal artery blood flow and/or elevated intraocular pressures, can lead to acute ischemic events such as NAION (Fig. 4) and, more rarely, central retinal artery occlusions (CRAO) [130,131]. Among 925 episodes of NAION, 73% of patients first reported visual symptoms after waking from sleep, and nocturnal arterial hypotension showed a significant correlation with progressive visual field deterioration in NAION, altogether implying that nocturnal blood pressure depression may precipitate NAION development in patients having additional risk factors [132,133].…”

“… 30 , 31 In addition, after adjustments for comorbidities, OSA patients had a significantly higher risk of developing NAION than patients without OSA over an 18-year period, with a reported hazard ratio of 1.66. 26 Thus, OSA appears to be highly prevalent among NAION patients while NAION is much less common among OSA patients. This is likely a result of the multifactorial nature of NAION including the importance of a disc-at-risk.…”
