| Description |
Luxury perfusion refers to vascular autoregulation during anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, diverting blood to adjacent regions of the infarcted disc (1). Disc hemorrhage is found in approximately 3/4 of patients with Non-Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) (2). The functional and prognostic significance of disc hemorrhages in NAION have not been formally studied to our knowledge. We hypothesized that concordance and discordance between sectoral disc hemorrhage and visual field loss in acute NAION predicts the severity of visual loss. |
