Purpose: To report on posterior ischemic optic neuropathies, a vascular disorder that happens in the posterior part of the optic nerve and therefore, usually does not present with optic disc edema. Case Report: This is a case report on a posterior ischemic optic neuropathy with an uncharacteristic presentation. It highlights the importance of understanding the different pathophysiology of PION vs anterior ischemic optic neuropathies in order to help differentiate the two clinically and includes a literature review of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Mycobacterium Infection

Objectives: To describe a safe and effective treatment for endobronchial Mycobacterium avium complex. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: We present a case of endobronchial M. avium complex in a healthy child treated with serial carbon-dioxide laser excisions and antibiotic triple therapy using azithromycin, rifampin, and ethambutol. No current guideline for the treatment of these lesions in the pediatric population exists. Conclusions: In patients with airway impingement, serial endoscopic surgical resection combined with antibiotics can provide safe and effective management.
