متن کاملDistinctive retinal nerve fibre layer and vascular changes in neuromyelitis optica following optic neuritis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a cross sectional study comparing the retinal features of optic neuritis (ON) between 20 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 16 neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients with a history of ON (visual acuity at time of attack >20/100) matched for age and gender using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundoscopy. RESULTS Compared with MS, NMO patients often had: (1) vascular ...
متن کاملVisual field characteristics in neuromyelitis optica in absence of and after one episode of optic neuritis
PURPOSE Optic neuritis (ON) observed during neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is in most cases very severe and with poor prognosis. This study's objective was to analyze visual field (VF) abnormalities observed in the absence of ON and post-ON episode. METHODS Twenty-seven cases of both NMO and multiple sclerosis (MS) were selected. Thorough ophthalmologic exam was performed at least 6 months post-O...
متن کاملVisual field defects of optic neuritis in neuromyelitis optica compared with multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease that predominantly affects the optic nerves and the spinal cord, and is possibly mediated by an immune mechanism distinct from that of multiple sclerosis (MS). Central scotoma is recognized as a characteristic visual field defect pattern of optic neuritis (ON), however, the differing pathogenic mechanisms of NMO and ...
متن کاملTreatment of optic neuritis by plasma exchange (add-on) in neuromyelitis optica.
OBJECTIVE To assess the contribution of plasma exchange (PE) in association (add-on) with pulsed intravenous corticosteroids in acute optic neuritis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and limited forms of NMO. METHODS Thirty-six patients with optic neuritis were treated from January 1, 1995, through December 31, 2010, with pulsed intravenous corticosteroids and 16 with pulsed intravenous corticost...
