Aim. Identify changes in the optic disc and vascular membrane by OCT, as well features of hemodynamics possibility communication between these parameters. Materials methods. In 150 patients with idiopathic monolateral anterior uveitis, ophthalmic (visometry, refractometry, tonometry, perimetry, biomicroscopy, direct, reverse ophthalmoscopy), examination, rheophthalmography (ROG) optical coheren...

Optic neuritis is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder that primarily affects the optic nerve and often associated with multiple sclerosis. While it rare for to be accompanied by autoimmune encephalitis, can occur in some cases. A 65-year-old woman bipolar presented a progressively altered mentality. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed no definite abnormal findings. Electroencephalogra...

Isolated optic neuritis as a presenting sign of tuberculosis in children is uncommon. We report a case of an immunocompetent child who displayed features of bilateral optic neuritis secondary to presumed tuberculosis. It is essential to highlight this alarming presentation in a child, as the presence of tuberculosis has re-emerged as a serious public health problem especially in developing coun...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is an inflammatory and demyelinating disease of central nervous system (cns). the aim of the present study was to determine the type and the frequency of initial presenting symptoms in patients with ms and their relation with demographic characteristics in babol, northern iran. methods: all patients of this study were recruited over a ten year period from 200...

A case report of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis is presented in which the latter occurred following a myelogram with iopamidol. The literature relating to neurotoxicity of contrast agents is reviewed, and it is suggested that the optic neuritis may have been a neurotoxic effect

After intracranial inoculation, neurovirulent mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) strains induce acute inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss in the central nervous system. Prior studies using recombinant MHV strains that differ only in the spike gene, which encodes a glycoprotein involved in virus-host cell attachment, demonstrated that spike mediates anterograde axonal transport of virus to the...

     Neuromyelitis optica (also known as Devic's disease or Devic's syndrome) is an uncommon disorder in pediatric age group, and is characterized by acute or subacute optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Here we report an 11- year- old female child with relapsing Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) confirmed by positive NMO- IgG antibody and had clinical recovery with high dose methyl prednisolone t...

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has been traditionally described as the association of recurrent or bilateral optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). Identification of aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) has deeply changed the concept of NMO. A spectrum of NMO disorders (NMOSD) has been formulated comprising conditions which include both AQP4-IgG seropositivity and one of...

introduction hypoparathyroidism might cause various musculoskeletal findings, resembling spondyloarthropathies. case presentation we described a 52-year-old woman, diagnosed as a case of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy for ten years, who was unresponsive to classic anti-inflammatory therapies. she developed anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and had elevated muscle enzymes during the cours...
