Abstract:
We describe a 13-year-old girl presenting with steroid-resistant bilateral optic neuritis. After plasma exchange (PE), the girl experienced full recovery of her visual acuity. During a 4-year follow-up no relapse occurred. As far as we know, this is the first report of PE treatment in optic neuritis in a child.
