Abstract

Background: Optic Perineuritis (OPN) is an uncommon condition associated with many systemic disorders. Methods: We report three geriatric patients with acute unilateral vision loss and OPN. We also included a brief literature review pertinent to OPN. Results/Discussion: While OPN has been reported in association with many conditions such as giant cell arteritis (GCA), it is infrequently associated with mucormycosis sinusitis. Here, we presented cases of OPN associated with both GCA and mucormycosis infection of the sinuses. Conclusions: OPN is an be idiopathic a variety disorders. Early and this condition and its causes are necessary to prevent permanent vision loss. Even though many different can overall, the prognosis of OPN remains good save mucormycosis associated with OPN where the prognosis is generally poor. DM: mellitus; ESR: Erythrocyte sedimentation GCA: Giant cell arteritis; intravenous; resonance OD: oculus dexter OPN: perineuritis; RAPD: afferent pupillary

老年患者急性单侧视力丧失及视神经会阴炎(OPN) 3例

背景:视神经周围炎(OPN)是一种罕见的疾病，与许多全身性疾病有关。方法:我们报告了3例急性单侧视力丧失和OPN的老年患者。我们还包括了一个简短的文献综述相关的OPN。结果/讨论:虽然有报道称OPN与许多疾病相关，如巨细胞动脉炎(GCA)，但它很少与毛霉菌性鼻窦炎相关。在这里，我们提出了病例的OPN与GCA和鼻腔毛霉菌感染。结论:OPN是一种特发性疾病。早期和这种情况及其原因是必要的，以防止永久性视力丧失。尽管有许多不同的疾病，但除了毛霉病与OPN相关的预后通常较差外，OPN的预后仍然良好。糖尿病:糖尿病;ESR:红细胞沉降GCA:巨细胞性动脉炎;静脉注射;共振OD:眼后眼OPN:神经会阴炎;RAPD:传入瞳孔
