| Description |
Both neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS) can present as acute optic neuritis. The involvement of more posterior structures of the optic nerve, including the chiasm tends to be more indicative of NMO. Distinguishing between NMO and MS is of great importance in guiding treatment. |
