Description |
Compression of the optic nerve by the supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) has long been recognized as a potential cause of an optic neuropathy. Visual field defects and optic nerve cupping resembling glaucoma were surprisingly found in a previous case series.[1] We describe 3 patients with radiological ICA compression of the optic nerve without elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)and a phenotype that resembled glaucoma. All patients had preserved visual acuity (VA), color vision, glaucomatous visual field defects, cupping without pallor, open angles, unilateral disease and a normal IOP. They were referred to Neuro-ophthalmology due to low IOP or progression despite low IOP. |
