Subject Optic Neuritis, MRI, Horizontal Gaze Palsy
History The pathologic specimen demonstrated atypical histiocytic proliferation and infiltration with abundant cytoplasm, CD68+, S100+, consistent with Rosai Dorfman (RDD). The patient had been treated with steroids with a partial response and disease stabilization with radiation therapy with subsequent progression. He was treated with cobimetinib as a part of the clinical trial #15-216 with a partial response. He progressed off treatment and was treated with cladribine with a complete response of his parenchymal disease in early 2019. He was readmitted with vision loss while off treatment. In light of this history, we presumed that the optic nerve and chiasm disease in this case was infiltration by RDD. He was treated with steroids and re-initiated of MEK inhibitor therapy.
