Entry term(s) NOIANA
isquemia del nervio óptico
neuropatía isquémica óptica
neuropatía óptica isquémica anterior
neuropatía óptica isquémica anterior no arterítica
neuropatía óptica isquémica posterior
Scope note: Lesión isquémica del NERVIO ÓPTICO que suele afectar al DISCO ÓPTICO (neuropatía óptica isquémica anterior) y con menos frecuencia a la porción retrobulbar del nervio (neuropatía óptica isquémica posterior). La lesión se produce por la oclusión del suministro de sangre arterial que puede producirse por ARTERITIS TEMPORAL, ATEROSCLEROSIS, ENFERMEDADES DEL COLÁGENO, EMBOLIA, DIABETES MELLITUS y otras afecciones. La enfermedad se produce principalmente en la sexta década o después, y se manifiesta con súbita pérdida visual monocular no dolorosa. La neuropatía óptica isquémica anterior se caracteriza también por edema del disco óptico con microhemorragias. El disco óptico tiene un aspecto normal en la neuropatía óptica isquémica posterior.

Scope note: Ischemic injury to the OPTIC NERVE which usually affects the OPTIC DISK (optic neuropathy, anterior ischemic) and less frequently the retrobulbar portion of the nerve (optic neuropathy, posterior ischemic). The injury results from occlusion of arterial blood supply which may result from TEMPORAL ARTERITIS; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; COLLAGEN DISEASES; EMBOLISM; DIABETES MELLITUS; and other conditions. The disease primarily occurs in the sixth decade or later and presents with the sudden onset of painless and usually severe monocular visual loss. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy also features optic disk edema with microhemorrhages. The optic disk appears normal in posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
