Long-term remyelination after optic neuritis

Long-term remyelination after optic neuritis: A 2-year visual evoked potential and psychophysical serial study.

Thirty-one patients were followed-up, at 3-month intervals for the first year and at 6-month intervals for the second year, after an episode of optic neuritis. The object was to confirm previous evidence for a progressive shortening of visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies and to determine whether this is associated with any change in the clinical ocular examination, visual fields or contrast...

Bilateral optic neuritis after inactivated influenza vaccination.

Measles-virus-specific IgG in optic neuritis and in multiple sclerosis after optic neuritis.

Measles-virus-specific IgG was measured in the serum of 100 patients who had presented with optic neuritis (ON) during 1960-74. When reviewed 41 of them were found to have developed definite symptoms and signs of multiple sclerosis (MS), their serum containing significantly higher titres of the antibody than sera from either the rest of the patients or a group of normal healthy controls. In a f...

Optic neuritis.

The term optic neuritis denotes primary inflammation of the optic nerve. When the clinical history and examination suggest optic neuritis and the optic disk appears normal, the term retrobulbar optic neuritis is used. Critical elements in establishing the diagnosis are a detailed history and an accurate examination. For this reason, the ophthalmologist must be familiar with the clinical profile...
