An unusual case of optic and chiasmal neuritis caused by hypersensitivity to mycobacterium: A case report [PDF]
We describe Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings in a 49-years-old female who presented with subacute visual loss. MRI findings were suggestive of optic neuritis and chiasmal neuritis. She had necrotic mediastinal lymphadenopathy which was diagnosed

Normative Data and Minimally Detectable Change for Inner Retinal Layer Thicknesses Using a Semi-automated OCT Image Segmentation Pipeline [PDF]
Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases regularly cause optic nerve and retinal damage. Evaluating retinal changes using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diseases like multiple sclerosis has thus become increasingly relevant.

Experimental mouse model of optic neuritis with inflammatory demyelination produced by passive transfer of neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G. [PDF]
Background Although optic neuritis (ON) is a defining feature of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), appropriate animal models of NMO ON are lacking. Most NMO patients are seropositive for immunoglobulin G autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) against the astrocyte water ...

Electroacupuncture as a treatment for suspected trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking in 42 horses
Summary Background Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used successfully as a treatment for trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking (TMHS) in a small case series, but results from a larger number of cases are lacking. Objectives To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of EA as a treatment for horses with TMHS.

Summary Diagnosing trigeminal‐mediated headshaking (TMHS) in horses primarily depends on identifying characteristic clinical signs such as headshaking and nasal irritation, along with excluding non‐trigeminal causes through additional diagnostic techniques, primarily imaging. Aside from somatosensory evoked potentials, which require anaesthesia and are
