Abstract

A 51 yr old white man presented with an acute bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy approximately 1 mo. following hospitalization for a hyperosmolar nonketotic diabetic coma. One eye treated by retrobulbar corticosteroids showed marked improvement. Diabetic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is often diagnosed in the absence of diabetic retinopathy.
