Differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy in patients with CNS diseases and normal tension glaucoma

Abstract

The article presents specific ophthalmologic signs of a certain condition of the central nervous system with clinical picture resembling that of normal tension glaucoma, and their differential diagnosis based on those signs.

Keywords
