Does optic disc appearance distinguish ischemic optic neuropathy from optic neuritis?

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether characteristics of optic nerve swelling assist in distinguishing between optic neuritis and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

METHOD: Optic nerve stereophotograph review by masked observers.

RESULTS: Altitudinal swelling, pallor, arterial attenuation, and hemorrhage are found more commonly in anterior ischemic optic neuropathy than in optic neuritis.

CONCLUSION: Optic disc appearance does help to distinguish anterior ischemic optic neuropathy from optic neuritis, although there are overlapping features.
