Survey of Ophthalmology, 1980
A 44-year-old otherwise healthy woman was referred to Washington University with previous diagnoses of para planitis and retrobulbar neuritis, and with a current complaint of markedly decreased vision (light perception only) in the right eye. Among the findings at the time of this evaluation were posterior uveitis and evidence of optic neuropathy and ...

Classic demyelinative optic neuritis is associated with multiple sclerosis and typically carries a good prognosis for visual recovery. This disorder is well characterized with respect to its presentation and clinical features by baseline data obtained through the optic neuritis treatment trial and numerous other studies. Atypical optic neuritis entails

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2007
A case of progressive optic neuropathy in a woman with a history of breast cancer is presented. Differential diagnoses including optic neuritis, infiltrative optic neuropathy, carcinomatous meningitis, and toxic optic neuropathies are discussed. Risk factors for metastatic brain lesions are also discussed.

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.

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1958
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,

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.

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 ...

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
