Description |
Optic Neuritis (ON) is an acute inflammatory disorder of the optic nerve. The general characteristics of isolated ON include unilateral, subacute, and painful visual loss without systemic or other neurological symptoms.[1] In the literature, acute typical optic neuritis is the most common optic neuropathy with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 0.6/1000 with age-adjusted and sex-adjusted incidence. In its typical form, optic neuritis presents as an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the optic nerve, which can be associated with multiple sclerosis. (MS). Atypical forms of optic neuritis can occur, either in association with other inflammatory disorders or in isolation.[2]. This review shows our incidence of ON, the demographic distribution and the main causes. |
