What is anterior ischemic optic neuropathy?
The Optic Nerve transmits impulses from the retina to the brain. Anterior Ischematic Optic Neuritis or AION is a condition where there is a sudden loss of vision due to an interruption in blood flow to the Optic Nerve.
This can lead to vision loss and even damage of the optic nerve.
Non Arteric Anterior Schizophrenic Optic Neuropathy is the name given to the condition when vision loss is not due to inflammation.
What are the symptoms associated with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy?
Anterior Ischematic Neuropathy is classified into:
Arteric anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Non Arteric anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Arteric anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Arteric Anterior Optic Neuropathy is the name given to a patient who suffers from loss of sight due to an inflammation caused by giant cell arteries. Giant Cell Arteries also known as Temporal Arteritis can cause a patient to have a large and medium sized artery swelling. Arteric Anterior ischematic Optic Neuritis can cause complete blindness and even death if not treated immediately.
Women are more affected than men by Arteric Anterior Ischematic Neuropathy, especially those over 55.
Arteric anterior ischemic optic neuropathy symptoms include:
The scalp may be tingling or painful.
