Optic Neuropathy |
| Description |
Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) has been previously associated with use of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The proposed mechanism is that vasodilation reduces perfusion of the optic nerve with subsequent ischemia. However, evidence of causality is inconclusive. We describe a case of NAION occurring after recreational use of sildenafil in a young, healthy patient without microvascular risk factors or optic disc drusen. We review the published literature on sildenafil associated NAION. |
