Abstract:
A 62-year-old female patient presented with binocular vision loss for 10 days. Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography showed bilateral optic disc edema. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescence of the optic disc in the early stage, but irregular filling defects and segmental hyperfluorescence in the late stage. The diagnosis of bilateral simultaneous non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy was made. The patient's visual acuity and visual field were improved after the use of megadose corticosteroids and comprehensive treatment. The prognosis of the patient was stable during the follow-up period.
