Subject Bilateral Optic Nerve Head Edema; Central Nervous System Metastasis; Non-Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Description We describe a patient who presented with consecutive bilateral optic nerve head edema. Bilateral optic nerve head edema in a patient with a history of malignancy can represent a central nervous system (CNS) metastasis, and a systemic workup is warranted. This case demonstrates management of a rare presentation of consecutive bilateral non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy with crowded optic nerve heads.
