Peripapillary vascular density in resolved non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy: colocalization between structural and vascular parameters.
Neurological Sciences 2021 June 19
INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an acute infarction of the prelaminar anterior optic disc, resulting from the occlusion of posterior ciliary arteries. Here, we evaluated the correlation between structural and vascular features in a case of resolved NAION.
METHODS: Observational case report.
RESULTS: A 50-year-old male patient was referred at an Eye clinic due to an altitudinal visual field defect in the left eye, occurred 9 months before. Fundus examination was unremarkable, while structural SD-OCT reveals retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning associated with reduction of peripapillary vascular density at OCT Angiography.
DISCUSSION: We found a precise spatial correlation among RNFL and GCC thinning, peripapillary vascular reduction and visual field defects. This case demonstrates that OCTA represents a new, valid and non-invasive imaging technique in the diagnosis and follow-up of NAION, even after the resolution of the acute phase, in the absence of clinical signs at fundus examination.
