Summary:We report a case of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) associated with retinal emboli in a 68-year-old man with decreased vision. Carotid Doppler imaging revealed critical stenosis (80-99%) of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery. Carotid endarterectomy was performed and two weeks postoperatively a partial improvement in visual acuity was noted with resolution of the disc swelling.
