OCULAR IMPLICATIONS OF THE ANTERIOR ISCHEMIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY-NON-ARTERITIC FORM (Abstract): The anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, non-arteritic form is a frequent disease characterized by decreased vision, without ocular pain, associated to the optic disk edema.

After the clinical investigations, we establish the diagnostic of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, non-arteritic form. The patient was treated with: vasodilators peripherals, antihypertensive, anti-edematous, anticholesterolemia drugs, but the vision maintained at the same values; 6 months after the discharge, the vision maintains at the same values, under treatment with vasodilators, antihypertensive and anticholesterolemia drugs.
