| Description |
"Non-arteritic anterior (NAION) and posterior (PION) ischemic optic neuropathy infrequently affect patients under 50; the two largest case series suggest that this group represents up to 23% of NAION patients.1,2 Within this group of young NAION patients, 41-43% had eventual bilateral involvement. Risk factors in this population included crowded discs (82-88%), hyperlipidemia (23-47%), hypertension (32-35%), smoking (27-29%) and migraines (20%). Sequential NAION followed by PION in a young patient has not been previously reported." |
