Clinical Challenge: Looking beyond blurred margins

A 60-year-old man presented to an outside ophthalmology clinic with 1 month of progressive vision loss in the right eye (OD). Right optic disc edema was noted. Brain and orbit magnetic resonance imaging revealed right optic nerve and left occipital lobe enhancement. He was seen initially by neurology and neurosurgery and subsequently referred to neuro-ophthalmology for consideration of optic nerve biopsy. He was seen 3 months after his initial symptom onset where vision was light perception OD and a relative afferent pupillary defect with optic nerve edema.
