The Diagnostic Significance of Retrobulbar Neuritis.

Diagnostic and therapeutic doubts in retrobulbar neuritis in children.

Retrobulbar neuritis is often very complicated clinical entity. The most common cause of retrobulbar neuritis is demyelinating disease of CNS. This report is to express some other uncommon causes of it. Three children, age 8 to 12 with sudden and severe visual loss are presented. The diagnosis of retrobulbar neuritis is made by complete ophtalmological examination in consultation with neuropedi...

Retrobulbar teratoma in a great blue heron (Ardea herodias).

Influence of retrobulbar neuritis and papillitis on echographically measured optic nerve diameter.

BACKGROUND/AIM Retrobulbar (optic) neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve that may cause a complete or partial loss of vision. This inflammation can affect a part of the nerve within the eyeball (neuropapillitis) or a part of the nerve behind the eyeball (retrobulbar neuritis). The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a correlation between the diameter of a retrobulbar part ...

Visual pathways involvement in clinically isolated syndrome in children.

AIM To investigate extent and nature of visual pathways involvement in children with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). METHODS Forty-seven patients (age 11-17y) with CIS, which later proved to be multiple sclerosis (MS) onset, and 30 controls underwent visual evoked potentials (VEP) investigation within 12d from the appearance of the first signs of disease. Latency and amplitude of P100 pea...

The correlation of changes of the optic nerve diameter in the acute retrobulbar neuritis with the brain changes in multiple sclerosis.

The aim of this paper is to compare diameter of healthy and affected optic nerve determined by ultrasound with brain lesions in acute retrobulbar neuritis in patients with multiple sclerosis. In this prospective study 20 patients with multiple sclerosis and acute retrobulbar neuritis were examined. Optic nerve diameter was measured by ultrasound. Brain lesions were detected by magnetic resonanc...
