Purpose:To report a case who was positive for myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(MPO-ANCA)and who showed asymmetrical bilateral optic neuropathy. Case:A 80-year-old male presented with fever,hearing loss and blurring of vision in his right eye since 4 days before. Corrected visual acuity was no light perception right and 0.6 left. Funduscopy showed normal findings in the right eye and optic neuritis in the left. He showed increased MPO-ANCA in the circulating blood. Results:The level of MPO-ANCA became normal after pulsed corticosteroid therapy. The right visual acuity increased to 0.2 after 3 days of treatment and decreased to 0.01 7months later secondary to optic atrophy. Optic neuritis in the left eye disappeared with visual acuity of 0.6 throughout. Conclusion:Optic neuropathy in this case appears to be causatively related to vasculitis and to MPO-ANCA. The vasculitis may be of different location and intensity,and may induce rapid fluctuations in visual acuity.
