Optic neuritis

Optic neuritis is an acute or subacute inflammatory disorder of the optic nerve, frequently representing an early manifestation of central nervous system demyelination Most commonly affecting young to middle-aged adults—predominantly females—it is strongly associated with multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, though it may also arise from infections or systemic autoimmune conditions Pathophysiologically dr...

Pathophysiologically driven by immune-mediated demyelination and axonal injury, the condition is clinically characterized by unilateral painful vision loss exacerbated by eye movements, impaired color perception (dyschromatopsia), visual field defects, and a relative afferent pupillary defect
