Atrophy of myelinated nerve fibres in the retina in optic neuritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atrophy of the nerve fibres in the retina visible by direct ophthalmoscopy using red-free illumination, together with corresponding scotomata in the visual fields, signified retrograde degeneration of retinal nerve fibres from multiple sclerosis. Defects in medullated retinal nerve fibres were continous with arcuate nerve fibre bundle defects. These myelin defects exemplify secondary demyelination of optic axons.

Monocular temporal hemianopia was identified in 24 patients. The field of the fellow eye was normal. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging showed juxta-sellar lesions in 19 patients. Fifteen had pituitary adenomas, two had tuberculum sella meningiomas, one a craniopharyngioma, and one an astrocytoma. One patient had optic neuritis. A relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) was det...

Background and purpose: Optic neuritis is one of the common causes of unilateral or bilateral visual loss. The most common cause of this disorder is demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and most of the patients with optic neuritis will present other signs of multiple sclerosis (MS). The diagnosis depends on the clinical findings, however, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is...

Development of the Xenopus laevis optic nerve was studied by light and electron microscopy from embryonic stage 26, before the retina has formed, to juveniles, 8 months postmetamorphic. Low-power EM photographs of sections through the retinal optic nerve (RON), middle optic nerve (MON) and chiasmatic optic nerve (CON) were prepared at different stages and the areas containing large axons (0-5 ^...
متن کاملClues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers
PURPOSE We present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. As a secondary aim, we examine the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography for visualization of peripapillary vasculature obscured by ...
