center of visual field: 2-4 degrees

27. MS is But One Cause of Optic Neuritis
It is Not the Only Cause
Optic Neuritis = Inflammation of the Optic Nerve
… itis = inflammation: meningitis, appendicitis, gastritis,
hepatitis
Syphilis
Rocky Mt. Spotted
Fever
Systemic Lupus (SLE)
MS
Medication-induced
Lyme disease
Vasculitis
Sarcoid
Many Causes
28. • Loss of central visual field
• Loss of visual acuity
• Loss of color perception
• Afferent Pupil

Two Forms of Optic
Neuritis
• Papillitis
• Retrobulbar Neuritis

29. Papillitis Optic Disc is Swollen
•Loss of central visual field
•Loss of visual acuity
•Loss of color perception
•Afferent Pupil
30. Retrobulbar Neuritis Optic Disc is Flat
•Loss of central visual field
•Loss of visual acuity
•Loss of color perception
•Afferent Pupil
41. MRI in MS•Initial Diagnosis
•Predictive Value
•Helps Determine Effectiveness of Therapy
Notas do Editor
Vision system spans the brain; fiber count 1.2 million Point out gray-white junction; optic nerve=white matter Accounts for propensity for patients with MS to either present with or develop optic neuritis Optic nerve is a piece of the central nervous system Oph think brain=extension of the eye;neurol optic n=extension of the brain
