Neurotomy of Optic Nerve in Non-Arthritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

October 11, 2006 updated by: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
Non-arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is the most common cause of sudden visual loss due to optic nerve involvement in patients above 50 years old. As this problem can be considered as a sclera out let syndrome an there is no effective and successful treatment for it, we decided to do a neurotomy procedure and relax the involved optic nerve in order to achieve acceptable treating outcome.
