| Abstract |
A patient displayed a pink mass on the right optic disc and normal visual function that was diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma. Seven months later, he developed typical features of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in that eye. Such a long latency between "preeruptive" and "eruptive" disc edema has not been well documented in NAION. |
