    Godina-Kariž, Stanka ; Avancini, Nives ; Kariž, Stojan
    Background. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy rarely occurs with interferon alpha therapy. The mechanism by which interferon induces anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is unknown. Methods. A ... 62-year-old man presented with complaints of sudden severe loss of vision in the left eye. He has been receiving interferon alpha and ribavirin for chronic infection with hepatitis C virus. Vision loss occurred 6 months after the beginning of treatment. Afterwe ruled out other possible etiologies, a diagnosis of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy due to interferon therapy was made and the drug was discontinued. A follow up 3 weeks later showed an improvement of visual acuityand resolution of scotoma, disc hemorrhage and edema. Conclusions. The resolution of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after discontinuation of interferon suggested a casual relation, though the pathophysiologic mechanism remains unknown. An ophthalmologic examination should be performed in patientswith risk factors of visual loss before and regularly during interferon treatment.
