Electrodiagnostic tests and optical coherence tomography provided structure\u2013function evidence of bilateral retinal ganglion cell dysfunction and notably revealed severe loss of temporal fibres in the left eye which showed cecocentral scotoma but normal visual acuity. Although selective damage of the papillomacular bundle has been well-documented in nutritional and toxic optic neuropathies, compressive optic canal hyperostosis secondary to nutritional deficiency has been rarely reported.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Nutritional deficiencies are increasing in high-income countries and may be linked to the rise of gastrointestinal disorders, strict vegan and vegetarian diets and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) associated with conditions such as depression and autism spectrum syndrome (ASD).
