title: [Optic neuropathy in diabetic subjects].
abstract: Four clinical forms of optic neuropathy can occur in diabetes: 1. Axial neuropathy is a classical optic neuropathy. 2. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is an acute optic disc ischaemia and the visual loss depends on the number of fibers destroyed. 3. Acute disc swelling occurs in young patients with a type 1 diabetes. It can be asymptomatic, but can also simulate optic disc new-vessels. It seems not to be a ciliary but rather an epipapillary and peripapillary capillaropathy. 4. Optic atrophy can constitute the final out come of forms one and too. In the child, the Wolfram ou DIDMOAD syndrome associates diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness.
