| Abstract |
A 30-year-old woman had bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after undergoing large-volume liposuction. Visual function remained stable over a four-month follow-up, with decreased visual acuity and marked constriction of the visual fields. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of ischemic optic neuropathy in this setting. |
