| Description |
Optic neuritis (ON) may herald the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), or other autoimmune conditions. Extensive optic nerve lesions on MRI may indicate a diagnosis other than MS with worse prognosis, as is the case for extensive spinal cord lesions, which predict NMO. We introduce a definition of longitudinally extensive ON and report its frequency in children with first events of ON ultimately diagnosed with a neuro-immunological disease. |
