Abstract
The etiology of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), when not associated with giant cell arteritis, is usually unknown. Clinical, pathologic, and experimental studies have not determined a cause. The optic disc appearance in both the involved and normal fellow eye was studied in 51 patients with acute nonarteritic AION. The number of discs (both involved and fellow) without a physiologic cup was significantly greater than would be expected from normal population studies. The etiology of nonarteritic AION may be related to the anatomic configuration of the optic nerve.
