Abstract: | Optic nerve head swelling is caused by either ocular or systemic diseases of inflammatory, infective, infiltrative, compressive,
or ischemic origin. Uncommonly, an isolated optic nerve head swelling without the above underlying mechanisms might also occur.
Two patients presented with unilateral, isolated optic nerve head swelling. A detailed oculoneurological examination and a
series of investigations failed to indicate any pathology. No probable cause for optic nerve head swelling in these patients
was determined by the authors.
