| Description |
Optic neuritis in cases with subtle evidence of collagen vascular disease can be misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We diagnosed 9 cases with recurrent or progressive "autoimmune" optic neuritis, 4 of whom were referred with a diagnosis of MS. Anti-nuclear antibodies were definitely abnormal in all, yet, the ESR was elevated in only 2 cases. Rheumatoid factor was absent and other serological tests were inconsistently abnormal. CSF studies showed oligoclonal banding in 2, elevated protein in 1, and 1 with elevated WBC. |
