Abstract. A 73-year-old woman presented with deteriorating vision since 5 months before. Her visual acuity was hand motion in either eye. Funduscopy showed optic atrophy in the right eye and disc edema in the left. Diagnostic imaging showed swelling in and around the optic nerve sheath. She was positive for perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(p-ANCA)in the blood,leading to the diagnosis of bilateral optic perineuritis associated with p-ANCA. She was treated with pulse corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agent. Her left visual acuity improved to 0.2 on day 2 of treatment. Nine months after her initial visit,the left visual acuity was 0.7 with constricted visual field. Visual impairment in her right eye remained unchanged. This case illustrates that p-ANCA may be involved in the pathogenesis and clinical course of optic perineuritis.
