Description Post infectious optic neuritis (ON) appears at any age. Though children very commonly suffer from infectious diseases, ON is reported to be less common than that in adults, with annual incidence of 0.33-1.66/10000 vs. 5.1/100000. The aim of this work is to compare the clinical manifestations and outcomes of the disease in adults and children.
