Luxury Perfusion Following Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

We present five patients who developed luxury perfusion following anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in whom fluorescein angiography was misinterpreted as “capillary hemangioma” or neovascularization of the disc. In each case, the segment of disc hyperemia corresponded to a spared region of visual f...

Zusammenfassung:	We present five patients who developed luxury perfusion following anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in whom fluorescein angiography was misinterpreted as “capillary hemangioma” or neovascularization of the disc. In each case, the segment of disc hyperemia corresponded to a spared region of visual field. Luxury perfusion represents a reparative autoregulatory reaction to ischemia.
