| Description |
Optic nerve inflammations have common symptoms: Vision decrease, Retro bulbar pain, Rapd, Visual Field (VF) impairments and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) alterations. These manifestations are identical in both Optic Perineuritis (OP) and Optic Neuritis (ON). Real ON is always associated with a perineuritic reaction. As a neuro-ophthalmologist it is impossible to distinguish between the two entities: ON and OP. Therefore the words Optic Meningitis (OM) should be used. These words express the painful aspect (only the optic nerve's meningeal sheath is sensitive) and the functional impairment (by inflammatory compression or by direct inflammatory axonal or microglial injuries). |
