“…Hyperbaric oxygen and aspirin were also shown to be ineffective. [21][22][23] Because of the recent reports on the effects of systemic corticosteroid treatment in NAION, it seems better to initiate this therapy in patients with simultaneous AION in elderly patients.…”

Bilateral simultaneous nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is extremely rare. A 57-year-old woman presented with bilateral optic disc oedema and peripapillary splinter haemorrhages. Initial visual acuities were hand movements in the right eye and light perception in the left eye. The patient had a mildly elevated diastolic blood pressure and glucose intolerance. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels were within normal limits. Temporal artery biopsy was negative for temporal arteritis. Marked visual improvement occurred in both eyes (0.8 in the right eye, 0.6 in the left eye) after systemic steroid therapy in the 16th month of follow-up.

“…Steroids have never demonstrated benefit in improving visual outcome but may hasten the recovery of disc edema 54 . Procedures such as hyperbaric oxygen and optic nerve sheath decompression have also demonstrated no benefit in the treatment of NAION 55,56 . In fact, many patients in the IONDT had a decrease in visual acuity after undergoing optic nerve sheath fenestration, suggesting that this procedure may be harmful.…”

Ischemic optic neuropathy is the most frequent cause of vision loss in middle age. Clinical and laboratory research studies have begun to clarify the natural history, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria and pathogenesis of various ischemic nerve injuries. As a result, physicians are acquiring new tools to aid in the diagnosis and potential treatment of ischemic nerve injury. The aim of this review is to examine recent data on anterior and posterior ischemic optic neuropathy and to provide a framework for physicians to manage and counsel affected individuals.

“…Steroide oder hyperbare Sauerstoffapplikation haben sich nicht als vorteilhaft erwiesen [2]. Ebenso wenig gibt es ausreichende Evidenz, die den Einsatz der gelegentlich propagierten isovolämischen Hämodilution rechtfertigen würde.…”

We present a rare manifestation of chronic lymphatic leukemia with progressive bilateral visual loss and the typical fundoscopic picture of anterior ischemic optic nerve neuropathy (AION). Clinical symptoms were due to meningeal metastases and tumor cell infiltration of the optic nerve. The diagnostic clue was provided by lumbar puncture with pressure measurement, which made it possible to differentiate AION from papillitis and papilledema. In this case the patient was able to regain his initial visual activity after intrathecal and systemic polychemotherapy.
