Pediatric optic neuritis differs from adult optic neuritis because the condition in children is commonly bilateral,; associated with optic disc swelling, and characterized by severe vision loss. The risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) is related to the presence of white matter lesions in the brain at presentation, like in adults, but is also associated with older age at presentation.
