Compressive Optic Neuropathy with a Concurrent Mutation of Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy: A Case Report [PDF]
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a mitochondrial genetic disease that leads to acute or subacute, painless, bilateral loss of vision, caused by degeneration of retinal ganglion cells that most affects men in their second or third decade of life.

Compressive Optic Neuropathy from Allergic Fungal Sinusitis [PDF]
Ophthalmic manifestations of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) are rare, but can occur in advanced disease. A 32-year-old man with advanced AFS presented with severe bilateral vision loss and restricted ocular motility. Magnetic resonance imaging and histological analysis confirmed active chronic AFS.

Double whammy – High voltage optic neuropathy and compressive optic neuropathy
Electric current flows in the body between two contact points. The degree of damage caused by the current is dependent on voltage intensity, tissue resistance, type of current, duration and area of contact and the route the current traveled within the body. Ophthalmic injuries are common with electrical damage to the body.

Automated macular segmentation in compressive optic neuropathy and glaucomatous optic neuropathy
PurposeCompressive optic neuropathy (CON) can sometimes mimic glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), leading to inadequate management. Our purpose was to compare the macular area of patients with CON and GON to healthy controls (HC) and to determine if the macula area was able to distinguish between CON and GON.MethodsRetrospective, observational, cross ...
