The Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial previously reported that corticosteroids accelerated visual recovery in optic neuritis (ON) without improving outcome. This finding related largely to multiple sclerosis (MS), and subsequently neurologists tended to await spontaneous recovery in ON. Since then, non-MS ...
Guestover a year ago Optic neuritis refers to swelling or inflammation of the optic nerve. It is often associated with diseases causing demyelination of the optic nerve (a loss of the protective myelin layer of the nerve), but sometimes the cause is unknown. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the ...
Optic neuritisis a demyelinating inflammation of the optic nerve. It is most commonly associated withmultiple sclerosis(MS), but can also occur in isolation. In cases associated with MS,optic neuritismay be the initial presenting manifestation of the disease, and 75% of females presenting withopti...
Since optic neuritis occurs frequently in multiple sclerosis (MS), it has been thought to herald the onset of MS in the young adult where no specific cause can be identified. This study was designed to examine the incidence of optic neuritis in the resident population of Rochester, Minn, in...
The period for development of MS was significantly shorter in patients with MRI lesions (p < 0.001). Optic neuritis patients with brain MRI findings showing the morphological evidence of disseminated disease can be considered to have MS at the time of the initial ON attack, and disease-modifying...
Usually people complain on blurred vision. Partial or total loss of vision is also possible. That is why every optic neuritis must be examined thoroughly. The first thing that a doctor should suspect is MS. If MS is excluded, then a doctor should seek for other causes. I hope this helps...
The exact cause of optic neuritis is often unclear, but it is frequently associated with autoimmune disorders, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its tissues. Some common causes and associations include: > Multiple Sclerosis (MS): A significant number of optic neuritis cases are lin...
The aim of this study is to provide a clinical update on optic neuritis (ON), its association with multiple sclerosis (MS), and neuromyelitis optica (NMO).This study included a PubMed review of the literature written in the English language.ON in adults is typically idiopathic or demyelinating...
