| Description |
Ethambutol is an antitubercular drug which may cause optic neuropathy. Ethambutol optic neuropathy (EON) is dose related and reversible in most of the cases on discontinuation of therapy. Exact mechanism is not clearly known but hypothesis is that ethambutol chelates metals and disrupts oxidativphosphorylation in mitochondria. Routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences do not demonstrate any abnormalities in optic or brain. This study is carried out to evaluate DTI of optic nerve in EON cases. |
