Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of NAION is controversial and no one mechanism had been definitively demonstrated.[eyewiki.aao.org]
No clinically effective treatments exist, largely because little is known about its pathophysiology, and there are few histopathological studies of the acute condition. [10] An exhaustive review article published in March 2009 described the latest information[en.wikipedia.org]
