Activity Outline
When confronted with aniscoria, anomalous discs, and arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) in clinical practice, the immediate concern is that it’s an ophthalmic emergency. This isn’t always necessarily the case, but as Dr Rushmia Karim writes, it’s important to be methodical in your investigations. Here, she provides a practical guide for clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the diagnostic criteria for giant cell arteritis and fulfil simple clinical testing to differentiate other causes of visual loss.
- Consider the varied aetiology of anomalous discs and provide safe assessment tools to differentiate between sight threating disc changes and physiological disc anomalies.
- Understand the concepts of anisocoria and provide simple pathways for evaluation of uneven pupils.
