Description |
Epidemiological studies suggest that the Middle East exhibits a low frequency of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, our clinical practice in Saudi Arabia contradicts these studies because our practice frequently sees patients with MS. This study will describe 282 patients with optic neuritis (ON) from January 2010 to December 2012 as the first episode of MS seen at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital. |
