Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited mitochondrial disease.
  • It primarily affects the optic nerve, leading to vision loss.

Observation:

  • The study reviews personal cases to describe the clinical course and natural history of Leber's disease.
  • Diagnostic difficulties are a key focus, with emphasis on the acute phase.

Findings:

  • Angiographic examination is crucial for diagnosing Leber's disease during its acute phase.
  • Accurate differential diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary and potentially harmful neuro- and radio-diagnostic procedures.
  • The study discusses treatment options and disease activity aspects.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of Leber's disease can prevent iatrogenic harm.
  • Understanding the natural history aids in managing patient care and expectations.
  • Further research into treatment modalities for Leber's disease is warranted.
