To investigate the occurrence of retinal ganglion cell apoptosis in anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Case analysis of a 70-year-old man with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Utilized TUNEL staining to identify apoptotic retinal ganglion cells
Examined retinal sections for presence of pyknotic nuclei and DNA breaks
Identified apoptotic retinal ganglion cells with pyknotic nuclei through TUNEL staining
Apoptotic cells were sparsely distributed in the ganglion cell layer
Findings suggest injury to retinal ganglion cell axon likely induces apoptosis
