Wegener's granulomatosis and posterior ischemic optic neuropathy: Atypical associated conditions.
We report the atypical course of two patients with posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) and Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). The first case suggests that the optic nerve could be the primary and unique localization of WG. The second case suggests retrobulbar neuritis as another manifestation of WG, secondary to the autoimmune diathesis underlying this disease.
