A 23-year-old man notes worsening vision in the left eye over one week. Visual acuity is 20/20 (6/6) right eye and 20/200 (6/60) left eye. There is a left relative afferent pupillary defect. The left optic disc is shown.

I think we need to do angio OCT and MRT of the head
Would love to open this to discussion. What specific diagnoses are you considering with these tests?
Very interesting but if you could describe in your question that visual loss was painful or painless…it could help more.
Right, it is not discussed in the question. Let’s discuss. How would that information affect your differential diagnosis?
This is refreshing, to up our skills in clinical practice
Compressive optic neuropathy
Very interesting and useful. I hope it becones daily question.
