Category: Neuro-ophthalmology
Diagnosis: non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)

Image Comments:

1) Fundus photographs of right eye of a diabetic patient with non-arteritic AION showing. During early stages optic disc edema involving the superior temporal part of the optic disc and prominent vessels in that region.
2) During later stages: pale color (atrophy) in the upper half of the optic disc - more marked in the temporal than the nasal part, and spontaneous resolution of the prominent blood vessels on the optic disc.
