Background: To report the sequential peripapillary vascular changes in nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) Methods: A 60-year-old male presented with right eye painless vision loss leading to inferior field defects and right eye 0.5 vision. The sequential OCTA was performed at presentation and 5 months later to evaluate the peripapillary vascular changes. Results: At presentation, the OCTA revealed decreased peripapillary capillary perfusion in the area corresponding to the nerve fiber swelling, along with increased blood flow of the major retinal vessel. Five months later, the OCTA showed decreased blood flow in the major retinal vessel. The attenuation of peripapillary capillary plexus became more prominent. Conclusion: OCTA c.. View More»
