Summary
Optic neuritis can rarely co-occur with autoimmune encephalitis. This case demonstrates successful treatment of seronegative autoimmune encephalitis, even with negative antibody tests, highlighting the importance of immunotherapy.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Immunology
Background:
- Optic neuritis is an inflammatory demyelinating condition affecting the optic nerve, frequently linked to multiple sclerosis.
- Autoimmune encephalitis, though rare, can co-occur with optic neuritis.
- Seronegative autoimmune encephalitis lacks detectable pathogenic antibodies.
