Description |
We present clinical, radiological and histopathological findings of a patient with neuroretinitis, with positive Bartonella henselae IgM and an indeterminate QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) test, who developed orbital intraconal and optic nerve sheath inflammation. This is the first report of intraconal inflammation prompting optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) in association with B. henselae infection. |
