• ESR normal several times; VDRL and ANA normal• CT of head unremarkable• IVFA showed leakage at the right optic disk with
small hemorrhages temporally• DIAGNOSIS – NAION OD• Vision stable thereafter, until 5 months later …

Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
• Partial analysis of mitochondrial genome showed mutations at 4960 and 9957– 4960 mutation
• novel in our KSA analysis• affects a poorly conserved nucleotide in NADH
dehydrogenase subunit 2 (like secondary LHON mutations 4216 and 4917)
– 9957 mutation • reported previously in association with MELAS• note his history of seizures
