Optic nueritis in hypoparathyroidism

F J Bajandas, J L Smith

    Neurology
    |May 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Optic neuritis is rarely seen in hypoparathyroidism. This case suggests a potential link, but other causes like ischemic optic neuropathy may be involved.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Disk swelling in hypoparathyroidism is typically linked to papilledema.
    • Optic neuritis is an infrequently considered diagnosis in this context.

    Observation:

    • A patient with hypoparathyroidism developed optic neuritis.
    • The causal relationship between hypoparathyroidism and optic neuritis remains unclear.

    Findings:

    • The patient's optic neuritis may be coincidental.
    • Alternative explanations include ischemic optic neuropathy due to tetanic vasospasm or calcification of optic nerve vessels.

    Implications:

    • Further research is needed to establish a definitive link between hypoparathyroidism and optic neuritis.
    • Consideration of alternative optic neuropathies is crucial in patients with hypoparathyroidism and visual disturbances.
