Prognostic value of CSF IgG in monosymptomatic optic neuritis

1984
The frequency with which patients with monosymptomatic optic neuritis develop multiple sclerosis (MS) is still under discussion. On the basis of clinical examinations, figures vary from 11.5 to 85%1. Various attempts have been made to study parameters which might influence the risk.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels in acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis: relation to clinical severity, paraclinical findings and risk of multiple sclerosis

Journal of Neurology, 2015
Optic neuritis (ON) is a common first symptom of MS and only few studies have thus far investigated vitamin D at this early stage of MS. The objectives of the study were to examine total 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25HVITDL) in patients in acute (A) ON and to determine whether 25HVITD levels in AON (1) predict risk of RRMS and (2) are associated with ...

Assessment of MRI criteria for abnormal brain MRI in acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis. Comparison to findings in healthy persons

European Journal of Neurology, 1997
To evaluate various MRI criteria we studied a representative group of 149 consecutive patients below 50 years with acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis (AMON), a frequent first manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS). The presence, number, size, and localization of areas of increased signal (AIS) on T2‐weighted brain MRIs obtained at 1.5 T were ...

Intrathecal synthesis of virus-specific oligoclonal IgG, and of free kappa and free lambda oligoclonal bands in acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis. Comparison with brain MRI

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 1998
Twenty-seven patients with acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis were randomly selected from a population-based cohort of patients extensively screened for known etiologies of ON. Paired serum and CSF obtained median 20 days from onset were examined for oligoclonal IgG, free kappa and free lambda chains, and virus-specific oligoclonal IgG antibodies by ...

Normal levels of cerebrospinal fluid hypocretin-1 and daytime sleepiness during attacks of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and monosymptomatic optic neuritis

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2008
There is emerging evidence that multiple sclerosis (MS), the hypothalamic sleep-wake regulating neuropeptide hypocretin-1 (hcrt-1) and the sleep disorder narcolepsy may be connected. Thus, the major pathophysiological component of narcolepsy is lack of hcrt-1.

Subclinical Saccadic Adduction Slowing in Patients with Monosymptomatic Unilateral Optic Neuritis Predicts the Development of Multiple Sclerosis

1999
Many patients with acute unilateral optic neuritis (ON) develop later multiple sclerosis (MS), the risk varying widely between 35% and 75% (McDonald 1983). Many MS and ON patients are subject to abnormalities of eye movements (Reulen et al 1983).

Acute Monosymptomatic Optic Neuritis: Potential Clues to Early Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis

2004
The optic nerve is a 50 mm by 4.5 mm white matter tract of the central nervous system (CNS). Its physiology and response to therapy can be precisely quantified by a number of common, easily available, neuro-ophthalmological techniques. Detection of an early, subtle, optic neuropathy is relatively easy compared with many of the difficult-to-document ...

B‐lymphocyte and plasma cell clonal expansion in monosymptomatic optic neuritis cerebrospinal fluid

Annals of Neurology, 2004
AbstractThe CD19+ B‐lymphocyte and CD138+ plasma cell repertoires in cerebrospinal fluid from four patients with monosymptomatic optic neuritis (ON) were analyzed by single‐cell reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Amplified heavy (H)– and light (L)–chain antibody segments were sequenced and used to identify the rearranged germline and J ...

PCR typing of two Short Tandem Repeat (STR) structures upstreams of the human Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) gene; the genetic susceptibility in multiple sclerosis and monosymptomatic idiopathic optic neuritis in Danes

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 1995
We investigated two short tandem tetranudeotide (TGGA) repeat polymorphisms upstreams of the myelin basic protein (MBP) gene. The region was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the two repeat systems were separated by cutting with the restriction enzyme NlaJM.
