Abstract: Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is one of the most common complications of cirrhosis.
Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding may not only aggravate the liver situation, but also cause secondary
ischemic cerebrovascular disease for the sudden anemia for hemorrhage. We reported one case of anterior
ischemic optic neuropathy secondary to gastroesophageal variceal bleeding. From this case, we hope to call
the attention of physician to related cases and improve the clinical management of such cases.
