| Description |
Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) is a syndrome of acute visual loss with characteristics of optic neuropathy without initial disc edema and marked by the subsequent development of optic atrophy. Occasionally, a small amount of disc edema appears withinthe first week or so after acute visual loss, presumably as a result of propagationof swelling forward along the course of the optic nerve from the point of original ischemia. |
