[Bilateral transverse optic neuropathy]

It shows a clinical observation about optical anterior juxtabulbar bilateral neuropathy, with superacute debut, rapid and dramatic evolution in the first days, at a young woman. The disease established the marked diminuation of the visual acuity and the collapse of the visual field. The evolution was favourably under the cortisone therapy, establishing the total recovering of the visual function. Are discussed appearances about etiology and clinical specific features of optical juxtabulbar neuropathy, considering this isolated optical neuropathy like a first attack in evolution of one sclerosis in plaques.
