Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995
A major breakthrough in the therapy of demyelinating disease has recently been disclosed by the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial. Over the past 6 years the trial has accumulated evidence that a high dose of corticosteroids taken to treat patients with an isolated acute attack of optic neuritis reduces the rate at which multiple sclerosis develops over a ...

Pediatric Emergency Care, 1996
A previously healthy four-year-old girl developed bilateral loss of vision over one day. Her course of optic nerve abnormalities, a related neurologic episode, and the response to corticosteroid therapy is presented. The diagnosis of optic neuritis in a child is made infrequently in an emergency department, but it must be considered in any patient ...

Inflammatory affections of the optic chiasm are probably more frequent than existing records show. According to Duke-Elder, 1 they are seldom recognized. Chiasmal optic neuritis is merely a variant of the well-known condition retrobulbar neuritis. The age and sex incidence of the former corresponds to that of the ordinary case of retrobulbar neuritis,

Neurology, 1990
We studied 20 patients with acute optic neuritis prospectively for 12 months. Visual fields, color vision, and VEPs to 15' checks were initially abnormal in all patients. Visual acuity was abnormal in 90% and contrast sensitivity in 95% of patients. We devised a graded visual impairment scale (GVIS) to include all visual functions tested.

Cytomegalovirus optic neuritis
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1997Cytomegalovirus (CMV) optic neuritis is a rapidly blinding disease. Untreated eyes have a final visual acuity of no light perception. Treated eyes maintain visual acuity of approximately 20/100. Relapse occurs often in subjects maintained on single-dose ganciclovir and is controlled by double-dose ganciclovir.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
In acute monosymptomatic optic neuritis, treatment with oral prednisone alone should be avoided. Therapy with intravenous methylprednisolone (1 g/day for 3 days) followed by 11 days of oral prednisone (1 mg/kg with a short taper) should be considered instead.

Although optic neuritis occurs relatively infrequently in childhood, it may be a complication of measles, 23 mumps, 34 chicken pox, 8 or pertussis; 12 isolated instances have been reported following a wide variety of infectious diseases including those due to protozoa. 10 It may also follow immunization procedures.

Optic neuritis is rare in children in comparison to adults, but accounts for approximately 25% of pediatric acute demyelinating syndromes. Features of pediatric optic neuritis that differ from adults include a higher rate of bilaterality, poor visual acuity on presentation, and papillitis.
