  Fig. 1 Fundus photographs (A) and optical coherence tomography scanning (B) obtained 7 months after the onset of visual decline show temporal atrophy of the optic disc and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer that is more marked in the papillomacular bundle. Goldman perimetry (C) showing central scotoma in both eyes. Brain MRI (D) revealing atrophic change in the cerebellum and widened sulci in the frontal and parietal cortices.
