| Description |
Bilateral optic neuritis in the elderly is rarely reported due to urinary tract infection (UTI) when multiple systemic disorders are often present. Parainfectious optic neuritis or NMO like syndrome has been more often seen in children or due to viral, mycoplasma or mycobacterium infection. We present two elderly cases of isolated severe bilateral retrobulbar optic neuritis recovered after IV Steroid whereas bacteria UTI is the sole finding in the history or workup. |
