Description |
In contrast to MS, in which visual recovery from optic neuritis (ON) is independent of treatment, ON in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and other forms of antibody-mediated demyelinating disease (AMDD) is steroid dependent. Disability from AMDM-ON accumulates by poor recovery from attacks. Acute ON attacks are treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP). We investigated whether the time from symptom onset to IVMP administration affected visual recovery in NMOSD and AMDM-ON. |
