Diagnosis of AIR requires a high index of suspicion based on the typical findings on visual field, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ERG, which force requesting antirecoverin antibodies. However, diagnosis is often delayed because of the need to exclude other causes. Knowing typical symptoms and signs in for a quick action is important because an earlier diagnosis and treatment will improve visual prognosis since the loss of vision already established is irrecoverable. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of nPAIR with CME and optic disc edema due to GVHS after ASCT.
