Disc Configuration as a Risk and Prognostic Factor in NAION: The Impact of Cup to Disc Ratio, Disc Diameter, and Crowding Index.

Conclusions: DD and CI did not show value as either prognostic or risk factors. Glial tissue may be a part of the content of the optic disc as important as axons. Our results are in line with the latest studies about NAION pathophysiology. Contrary to classic thinking, these papers have not found smaller disc diameters, but smaller values of lamina cribosa depth in NAION patients. PMID: 31162995 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
