Sudden vision loss in an 18-year-old was diagnosed as acute retrobulbar optic neuritis linked to multiple sclerosis. Prompt treatment led to rapid vision recovery and sustained visual function over 1.5 years.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Optic neuritis is a common presenting symptom of multiple sclerosis.
  • Acute retrobulbar optic neuritis can cause significant vision impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of acute retrobulbar optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis in a young adult.
  • To highlight the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment for vision recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination for visual acuity and fundoscopy.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess optic nerve and brain lesions.
  • Visual evoked potential (VEP) testing to evaluate optic pathway function.

Main Results:

  • An 18-year-old female presented with sudden, profound right eye vision loss.
  • Diagnosis confirmed as acute retrobulbar optic neuritis secondary to multiple sclerosis.
  • Complete vision recovery achieved following appropriate treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early intervention in optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis can lead to excellent visual outcomes.
    • MRI and VEP are crucial diagnostic tools in suspected cases.
    • Sustained vision preservation was observed during the follow-up period.
