Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
In this prospective study, 22 eyes of 20 optic neuritis patients were examined and followed up for 3 months. Mean age was 47.6 ± 14.05 years. Female preponderance was seen (65% of cases). Papillitis (90% of eyes) was more common than retrobulbar neuritis (10% of eyes). Bilateral presentation was seen in 10% cases. At presentation, most of the eyes presented with visual acuity <6/60 (n=15, 68.18%) which improved to ≥6/60 in most of the patients (n=18, 81.8%) at three months followup.The clinical profile of optic neuritis in Manipur population is different from that in the Western population but similar to Asian population. Unlike reported in the Western literature, papillitis and unilateral presentation was more frequent but poorer outcomes.
