IgG4-related disease is a multisystem condition originally described in the context of autoimmune pancreatitis which can have neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis can occur in the context of multiple conditions, infectious and inflammatory, and can result in severe vision loss when it involves the optic nerves. |
