    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Acute retrobulbar neuritis in women with collagen vascular disorders responded to high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone. Continued oral prednisone and immunosuppressants were needed to preserve vision in these patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Collagen vascular disorders can present with ocular manifestations.
    • Acute retrobulbar neuritis is a serious condition affecting vision.

    Observation:

    • Three female patients (ages 26-44) presented with acute retrobulbar neuritis.
    • Laboratory tests confirmed an underlying collagen vascular disorder in all patients.

    Findings:

    • Intravenous "pulse" methylprednisolone treatment led to visual acuity recovery in three of four affected eyes.
    • Sustained vision required ongoing oral prednisone and other immunosuppressive therapies.

    Implications:

    • High-dose corticosteroids are effective for acute optic neuritis in this context.
  • Long-term immunosuppression is crucial for managing collagen vascular disorders impacting vision.
