Abstract

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common cause of optic neuropathy in individuals over the age of 50. While risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia have been identified, recent literature suggests that new risk factors may be associated with NAION. This article reports a case of NAION that occurred concurrently with an acute gout attack in a 78-year-old male patient with no other systemic diseases. We suggest that gout may be a new potential risk factor for NAION as it has the potential to cause inflammation and vascular dysfunction, particularly during acute attacks. The case emphasises the importance of considering gout as a possible risk factor in the aetiology of NAION.

痛风发作会导致非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变吗？

非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变（NAION）是 50 岁以上人群视神经病变的常见原因。虽然高血压、糖尿病和高脂血症等风险因素已被确认，但最近的文献表明，新的风险因素可能与非动脉炎相关。本文报告了一例非结节性视网膜病变病例，患者为 78 岁男性，无其他系统性疾病，在急性痛风发作时同时出现非结节性视网膜病变。我们认为，痛风可能是导致非内视性视网膜炎的一个新的潜在危险因素，因为痛风有可能导致炎症和血管功能障碍，尤其是在急性发作期间。本病例强调了将痛风作为非内视性视网膜炎病因学中一个可能的危险因素的重要性。

期刊介绍： Ethnohistory reflects the wide range of current scholarship inspired by anthropological and historical approaches to the human condition. Of particular interest are those analyses and interpretations that seek to make evident the experience, organization, and identities of indigenous, diasporic, and minority peoples that otherwise elude the histories and anthropologies of nations, states, and colonial empires. The journal publishes work from the disciplines of geography, literature, sociology, and archaeology, as well as anthropology and history. It welcomes theoretical and cross-cultural discussion of ethnohistorical materials and recognizes the wide range of academic disciplines.
