Abstract
Spinal stenosis is generally described as the narrowing of the spinal canal, causing compression of the spinal cord. Ozone therapy, which is a minimally invasive method, can be used to treat these patients. Like any other therapeutic method, this technique may have certain side effects. Here we report a case of severe visual decline caused by anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in a 75-year-old male patient who underwent ozone therapy for spinal stenosis.
