Abstract

As mentioned earlier (see Chap. 19), posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) can be classified into three types: (1) arteritic PION due to giant cell arteritis, (2) non-arteritic PION due to causes other than giant cell arteritis, and (3) surgical PION attributable to a surgical procedure. Therefore, their clinical features may show differences.
