Abstract EN
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION) is a rare complica¬tion of interferon (IFN) during treatment of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) with all reported cases occurring within three months of the start of therapy.
We report a case of a late bilateral sequential ischemic optic neuropathy after 36 weeks of pegylated-interferon therapy.
In contrast to previous reports, we recommend a regular ophthalmological follow-up throughout the whole course of interferon therapy.
