Summary

Vascular compression of the optic nerve can cause vision loss. Microvascular decompression surgery may help, but outcomes require extensive follow-up for patients with optic nerve compression.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Ophthalmology
Vascular Neurology

Background:

Vascular compression of the optic nerve is a rare cause of monocular vision loss.

Keywords:

Dolichoectasia Hemianopsia Microvascular decompression Optic nerve
