Abstract
ABSTRACT Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common cause of vision loss in adults and is thought to be due to compromised perfusion to the optic nerve head. Patients with NAION in one eye are at risk of recurrence in the fellow eye. We report a case of sequential, bilateral NAION in a patient who was found to have a COL4A2 mutation. COL4A2 encodes a subunit of the collagen 4 protein, the major component of the human basement membranes, and has several known cerebrovascular and ocular associations.
期刊介绍:
Neuro-Ophthalmology publishes original papers on diagnostic methods in neuro-ophthalmology such as perimetry, neuro-imaging and electro-physiology; on the visual system such as the retina, ocular motor system and the pupil; on neuro-ophthalmic aspects of the orbit; and on related fields such as migraine and ocular manifestations of neurological diseases.
