Abstract
We present five patients who developed luxury perfusion following ante rior ischemic optic neuropathy in whom fluorescein angiography was mis interpreted as ''capillary hemangioma'' or neovascularization of the d isc. In each case, the segment of disc hyperemia corresponded to a spa red region of visual field. Luxury per fusion represents a reparative autoregulatory reaction to ischemia.
