Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbits with gadolinium contrast showed T2 hyperintensity in the right optic nerve (Figure 1).
Fundus photos at presentation. (A) optic disc swelling in the right eye and (B) a tilted optic disc with peripapillary atrophy in the left eye.

The right optic nerve was swollen, while the left optic nerve was tilted with peripapillary atrophy (Figure 2).
Optic disc appearance about 3 months after radiofrequency radiation injury. Diffuse optic disc pallor is shown in both eyes with (A) resolving right optic disc swelling and (B) marked arteriolar attenuation.
