Ultrasonography in distinguishing optic neuritis from nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy

Ultrasonography in distinguishing optic neuritis from nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy

Background and Objectives: Optic neuritis (ON) and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) have some overlapping clinical profiles. We evaluated the usefulness of B-scan ultrasonography in distinguishing ON from NAION by measuring diameter of the optic nerve. Materials and Methods:...
