There is uncertainty about whether, in some cases, NAION may be caused by proximal embolism of the posterior ciliary arteries. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) can provide evidence of concurrent cerebral infarction that may indicate a common embolic etiology. Methods: Adults with ophthalmological diagnosis of NAION who underwent cerebral DWI-MRI within 14 days from onset of visual impairment were included in a retrospective cohort study (2013\u20132021). DWI-MRI images were assessed for presence, location, and type of ischemic stroke by a board-certified neuroradiologist blinded for clinical patient data. Results: Among 122 patients (mean age 64.6 \u00b1 11.9 years), DWI-MRI indicated acute\/subacute ischemic stroke in three cases (2.5%), all located within the anterior circulation in the territory of the left middle cerebral artery and ipsilateral to the affected eye in two cases (1.6%). Ischemic stroke location was cortical in one case (0.8%) and subcortical in two cases (1.6%). Acute ischemic stroke indicated by a hyperintense DWI signal and corresponding low ADC was present in one patient (0.8%). Two patients (1.6%) had subacute ischemic stroke (hyperintense DWI signal and normal or elevated ADC signal). Only one NAION patient (0.8%) had acute embolic stroke corresponding to the vascular territory of the affected eye. Conclusions: Concurrent embolic ischemic stroke in NAION is exceedingly rare. Our findings support the prevailing pathophysiological theory of NAION as a non-embolic disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15243192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]],"date-time":"2025-12-15T10:11:23Z","timestamp":1765793483000},"page":"3192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acute Ischemic Stroke in Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6292-6038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor","family":"Wenzel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9798-5325","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leon Alexander","family":"Danyel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-0765-5784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophia","family":"Meidinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7395-6546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eberhard","family":"Siebert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neuroradiology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Charit\u00e9platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5205-6020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Theresia","family":"Knoche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9358-5973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charlotte","family":"Pietrock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology with Experimental Neurology, Charit\u00e9\u2013Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"171","article-title":"Ischaemic optic neuropathy","volume":"48","author":"Hayreh","year":"2000","journal-title":"Indian J.
