| Description |
A "chalky white" or "pallid" swollen optic disc is highly suggestive of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) in the appropriate age group. In contrast, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is generally characterized by hyperemic disc edema, though pallid edema has been rarely reported. We present a patient with acute vision loss and pallid optic disc edema who was ultimately found to have NAION. |
