Résumé

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) was first documented by a French physician Jean-Pierre Saint-Yves in 1817 (19th century). The clinical description of NAION was not known until 1935 when C. Miller Fischer thoroughly described it. Briefly, NAION is a rare (2.5-11.8 per 1,00,000 cases in men above 50 years) but serious condition that causes sudden painless loss of vision due to ischemia of the optic nerve.
