This case is the first reported patient with PS and LHON. Possible influence of hypoestrogenism on the manifestation of optic neuropathy in this patient is discussed in the context of recent findings concerning the crucial role of estrogens in supporting the vision capacity in LHON-related mtDNA mutation carriers.
