Lyme optic neuritis (ON) is a rare disease and only a few cases have been reported. We describe two cases of isolated Lyme ON, one with recurrence 9 months after the appearance of initial symptoms. Diagnosis criteria for multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica were not met.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of acute optic neuritis. Optic neuritis is a common cause of acute visual loss in early adult life. In the large majority of cases, the prognosis for vision is excellent even without treatment, but precise diagnosis is nevertheless important for two reasons. First, optic neuritis may be simulated by

To the Editor. —In reading Beck's 1 editorial on the optic neuritis treatment trial, it seems that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is only being used to predict future development of multiple sclerosis. New evidence raises the possibility that MRI may be useful in a primary diagnostic role.

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.

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.

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,

Corticosteroids and Optic Neuritis
New England Journal of Medicine, 1993Despite years of research, multiple sclerosis remains one of the most difficult neurologic disorders to understand and treat. Acute optic neuritis is a common manifestation of multiple sclerosis, either a first manifestation or one appearing during the course of the illness.
