| Abstract |
A 36-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) experienced 2 brief (<30 minute) episodes of painless, peripheral vision loss in his left eye followed by complete visual recovery. Initial examination revealed visual acuity of 20/20 bilaterally, no relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), full confrontational visual fields, bilateral iris Lisch nodules, and unremarkable posterior segments. |
