Electrophysiological assessment of nutritional optic neuropathy: a case report

ConclusionsNutritional deficiencies are increasing in high-income countries and may be linked to the rise of gastrointestinal disorders, strict vegan and vegetarian diets and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) associated with conditions such as depression and autism spectrum syndrome (ASD). Our findings highlight the value of electrodiagnostic testing alongside imaging in complex nutritional optic neuropathies to help monitor, guide treatment and preserve remaining sight in a child.
