Case demonstrates resolution of visual field defect in a patient with nonarteritic AION, suggesting potential for recovery.
A 63‐year‐old white male with mild hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, and anxiety was diagnosed as having nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). The patient presented with unilateral disc edema and a paracentral scotoma. Follow‐up examination at 10 weeks revealed resolution of the scotoma. This is one of a few cases in which remission of the visual field defect has been reported.
