G-CSF intravitreal injections for NAION: a pilot study

5 April 2022 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, Intravitreal injection, Neuroprotection, Optic atrophy

In rodent models with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) confers a neuroprotective effect on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) via anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory processes. This prospective study investigated the efficacy of intravitreal injection of G-CSF for the...

Investigation of blood platelet parameters in anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

1 August 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, mean platelet volume, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit

The aim of this clinical retrospective comparative study was to assess the possible relationship between arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with blood platelet parameters and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The medical records of...
