[Diabetic papillopathy and bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy]

A 16 year old juvenile diabetic presented with a diabetic papillopathy (D.P.). Visual impairment is known to be minimal in D.P. Our patient presented with all clinical features of diabetic papillopathy (disk oedema, massive leakage). Evolution toward poor visual acuity in one eye, and visual field defect in the other eye is unusual. We discuss relationship between D.P. and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
