Postoperative posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) following right pterional meningioma surgery

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Postoperative visual loss (POVL) is an unpredictable complication of nonocular surgeries. Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) is particularly feared in spinal surgeries in the prone position. We report a rare case of PION occurring after surgery for a pterional meningioma and discuss the various factors implicated in POVL.
