The Rodent Model of Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (rNAION)
Published on: November 20, 2016
Abstract:
In the reported case eye fundus changes and symptoms suggested initially increased intracranial pressure. The cause of choked disc was recognized relatively late, after phlebography. Thrombosis of the upper ophthalmic vein causes papilloedema with or without haemorrhages on the disc and around it. Vision may be normal or slightly impaired. There are no inflammatory changes in the orbital soft tissues or exophthalmos. Fundus changes are not different from those caused by raised intracranial pressure.
