Causes of Optic Neuropathy
• MS
• Infections: Lyme, Syphilis
• Granulomatous: Sarcoid, Tuberculosis
• Vascular: stroke
• Neoplastic: cancer
• Iatrogenic: postoperative complication
• Inflammatory: systemic lupus erythematosus
• Toxic: methylalcohol
• Dietary: B12 deficiency
• Traumatic
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
• Loss of central visual field
• Loss of visual acuity
• Loss of color perception
• Afferent Pupil

Notas do Editor

  1. 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
  2. PM bundle, arcuate bundles, nasal retina
