Jan 12th, 2022 - BACKGROUND Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammation of large vessels that affects the lining of the arteries and leads to vessel swelling and the eventual reduction of blood flow. This can result in ischemia of the optic nerve, which is known...

Jan 4th, 2022 - We aimed to create a mechanical optic nerve damage model in rats and to investigate the neuroprotective effects of topical Coenzyme Q10 + Vitamin E TPGS (CoQ10+Vit E) molecule on retinal ganglion cells. In our study, 30 eyes of 20 male Wistar rats...

Jan 3rd, 2022 - Dialysis-associated nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (DA-NAION) occurs secondary to intradialytic hypotension often with catastrophic consequences and is one of the rare situations where NAION can recur in the same eye. We describe 3 cases o...

Dec 4th, 2021 - Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a life-threatening vasculitis occurring in older adults that can cause blindness by ischemia of the choroid, retina, and optic nerve. We report a case of a patient who presented with "occult" GCA with severe anterior ...

Jan 30th, 2019 - Spine surgery is associated with a variety of post-operative visual complications, ranging from mild, transient deficits in acuity to full visual loss. Known risk factors for visual loss include anemia, hypotension, and long surgical times in the ...

May 13th, 2013 - Patients will be enrolled according to one of two sets of criteria designated as Stratum I and Stratum II. Stratum I will enroll Optic Nerve Atrophy patients who meet necessary criteria. Stratum I will consist of a maximum of 6 cohorts and each co...

Apr 7th, 2011 - In this study 16 Patients diagnosed with Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy(NSION) who had a sudden mono ocular vision loss associated with optic disc edema and positive Marcus Gunn in less than 30 days without exclusion criteria are ...

Jul 16th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Tocilizumab (TCZ) induced a slow and lasting remission after an ultra-short pulse (three days) of steroids in newly diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients, a proof-of-concept trial shows. His early research on cy...

Apr 3rd, 2018 - Case Diagnosis Funduscopy showed a marked asymmetry in the optic disc cup size, with focal tissue loss inferiorly of the right optic disc. There was no optic disc pallor. The cupping of the optic disc, in the absence of optic disc pallor, was sugg...

Dec 8th, 2017 - Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and neurologists may be widely overdiagnosing optic neuritis, researchers say. Neuro-ophthalmologists at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, could confirm only 40% of suspected cases of optic neuritis refer...

Mar 30th, 2017 - Case Diagnosis On OCT, the RNFL in the left eye was thinner than that in the right eye. OCT of the macula showed marked thinning of the inner one-half to two-thirds of the retina superiorly in the left eye. These findings, in addition to the trace...

Sep 11th, 2014 - Case Diagnosis Optic disc hypoplasia is characterized by a small optic disc. There may be abnormal branching of the retinal vessels. This patient's optic discs were normal in size. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy typically occurs in patients wh...
