Scope note: Afecciones que producen lesiones o disfunción del segundo par craneal o nervio óptico, considerado generalmente un componente del sistema nervioso central. El daño en las fibras del nervio óptico puede producirse en su origen o en sus proximidades, en la retina, en el disco óptico, o en el nervio, quiasma óptico, tracto óptico, o núcleo geniculado lateral. Entre las manifestaciones clínicas figuran disminución de la agudeza visual y de la sensibilidad a los contrastes, trastornos de la visión cromática y un defecto pupilar aferente.

Scope note: Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.
