BACKGROUND
To evaluate the relative frequencies of arteritic and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) in an Arab population and to compare and contrast these findings with known epidemiological data from Caucasian populations.
METHODS
A retrospective review of the medical records of all patients diagnosed with AION at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (KKESH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 1997 and 2012.
RESULTS
Of 171 patients with AION, 4 had biopsy-proven giant-cell arteritis (GCA). The relative frequencies of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in this Arab cohort were 2.3% and 97.7%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The relative frequencies of arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy differ between Arab and North American clinic-based populations, with giant-cell arteritis-related ischemia being much less frequent in Saudi Arabia.
背景
评估阿拉伯人群中动脉炎性和非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变（AION）的相对频率，并将这些结果与来自白种人群的已知流行病学数据进行比较和对比。
方法
对1997年至2012年间在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的哈立德国王眼科专科医院（KKESH）被诊断为AION的所有患者的病历进行回顾性研究。
结果
在171例AION患者中，4例经活检证实为巨细胞动脉炎（GCA）。在这个阿拉伯队列中，动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变（AAION）和非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变（NAION）的相对频率分别为2.3%和97.7%。
结论
阿拉伯人群和北美临床人群中动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变和非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变的相对频率不同，沙特阿拉伯与巨细胞动脉炎相关的缺血情况要少得多。
