“…The incidence of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is two to ten per 100,000 in the population older than 50 3,4. NAION secondary to APAC was described by Sonty and Schwartz in 1981 5. There have been four subsequent case reports (five eyes) describing NAION secondary to APAC 6–9.…”

“…Patients present with typical APAC symptoms and signs, which include pain, headache, nausea and vomiting, conjunctival injection, corneal edema, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), closed angles, and a shallow anterior chamber. NAION was present at the time of presentation for APAC in four of six eyes and developed one week after APAC in two eyes 5–9…”

PurposeTo describe a case of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) secondary to acute primary-angle closure (APAC).MethodsCase report.ResultsA 50-year-old woman with painful visual loss in the right eye was found to be in APAC with a right afferent pupillary defect. Laser peripheral iridotomy relieved pain but did not improve vision. Diffuse optic disc edema in the right eye and a small cup-to-disc ratio in the left eye were evident. Magnetic resonance imaging was normal. The patient was diagnosed with non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) secondary to APAC, a rare clinical entity which can result in markedly decreased visual acuity.ConclusionNAION secondary to APAC is a rare clinical entity that can result in severe vision loss.

“…[1][2][3] Furthermore, since the first reports of angle-closure and RVO, 7,8 there have been limited additional data, with a more recent case series of 4 subjects with vascular accidents associated with angle-closure describing only 2 cases of APAC and CRVO. 13 However, both cases had multiple medical problems that are associated with retinal vascular disease and/or angle-closure, including systemic lupus erythematosus, 14 idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic hypertension, peripheral arterial disease and chronic osteomyelitis of the spine, 2 and use of oral diazepam for anxiety. 13,15 Hence, any association between APAC and CRVO remains largely putative.…”
