  • Title: Fundus changes in acute malnutritional optic neuropathy.
    Author: Frisén L.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1983 Apr; 101(4):577-9. PubMed ID: 6838416.
    Abstract:
    A peculiar dilation and tortuosity of small retinal vessels within the arcuate areas of the retinal nerve fiber layer occurred in a series of patients with acute malnutritional optic neuropathy ("tobacco-alcohol amblyopia"). These evanescent vascular abnormalities may be caused by arteriovenous shunting. They seem to be specific indicators of the early phase of this disease.
