MRI Demonstrates Restricted Diffusion in Distal Optic Nerve in Atypical Optic Neuritis

The optic nerve carries visual information from your eye to your brain. Optic neuritis is when your optic nerve becomes inflamed. Optic neuritis can flare up suddenly from an infection or nerve disease. The inflammation usually causes temporary vision loss that typically happens in only one eye. Those with Optic neuritis sometimes experience pain. As you recover and the inflammation goes away, your vision will likely return. There are no direct references in our classics regarding optic neuritis but can be contemplated as a condition by name Parimlayi Timira. The specific management as such is not cited but a transcendence approach can be done with adopting the treatment which has the ability to pacify the already occurred pathology and prevent the further development of the disease. One such interesting case study on Optic neuritis is elaborated here where in specific treatment modalities (Shodana, Shamana and Kriyakalpas) played role in pacifying the condition.

Descriptive Study

Abstract: Optic neuritis is a condition where inflammation occurs in the optic nerve. This disease is accompanied by sudden vision decrease that can be temporary or even permanent if not treated well. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of optic neuritis at Prof Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from year 2015 to 2017. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using patients’ medical records from year 2015 to 2017. There were 24 optic neuritis patients involved in this study; males were predominant as many as 13 patients (54%). Optic neuritis were more common at age interval of 26-45 years as many as 11 patients (46%). Based on occupation, housewifery had the highest percentage (25%). Most cases of optic neuritis could not be classified in this study as many as 14 patients (58%). In conclusion, optic neuritis was more common in males, age interval 26-45 years. Based on its type, most optic neuritis cases could not be classified.Keywords: optic neuritis Abstrak: Neuritis optik merupakan kondisi dimana terjadi inflamasi pada saraf optik.

Introduction: In this study, we attempt to determine the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography of the optic nerve and adjacent fat tissue in patients with optic neuritis. Methods: The study included a patient group consisting of 72 eyes of 36 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral optic neuritis, and an age-matched control group of 36 eyes of 18 healthy subjects. The patient group consisted of 25 multiple sclerosis patients and 11 recurrent isolated optic neuritis patients. The mean shear wave elastography values of the optic nerves and intraorbital fat tissue adjacent optic nerves were recorded using m/s and kPa as units. ROC curve analysis was performed, and the diagnostic accuracy of shear wave elastography values was determined. Results: The mean shear wave elastography values of the optic nerves with neuritis (2.49 ± 0.41 m/s and 17.56 ± 4.42 kPa) were significantly higher than the values of the contralateral normal optic nerves (1.71 ± 0.32 m/s and 9.02 ± 2.34 kPa) (p = 0.006 and p = 0.004, respectively) in the optic neuritis group. The mean shear wave elastography values of intraorbital fat tissue adjacent optic nerves with neuritis (1.87 ± 0.32 m/s and 9.65 ± 1.12 kPa) were significantly higher than the values of the contralateral normal side (1.47 ± 0.27 m/s and 6.78 ± 1.14 kPa) (p = 0.025 and p = 0.022, respectively) in the optic neuritis group. ROC curve analysis showed a high diagnostic accuracy for determining optic neuritis with shear wave elastography values of the optic nerves (AUC 0.955 [95% CI, 0.933–0.978] in m/s and AUC 0.967 [95% CI, 0.940–0.985] in kPa). Conclusions: Shear wave elastography may be an important alternative diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of optic neuritis.

The Relationship

AbstractThe relationship of sinusitis and paranasal sinus mucoceles to optic neuritis (ON) remains a challenge for both the otolaryngologist and the ophthalmologist. Currently, ON is assumed to be a rare complication of paranasal sinus diseases. Three new cases of ON associated with paranasal sinus diseases are described. We postulate different pathophysiologic mechanisms of ON in our three patients: compression of optic nerve due to sphenoid mucocele in the first patient; extension of bacterial infection to the optic nerve in the second patient; and invasion of aspergillosis to the orbital apex in the third patient. We assume that the complete recovery of the patient’s vision in the second case resulted from surgery, which had been performed immediately. A timely operation could possibly have prevented permanent blindness in cases 1 and 3 as well. Optic neuritis can occasionally be a complication of bacterial and mycotic sinusitis or paranasal sinus mucoceles, especially if located in the sphenoid sinus and posterior ethmoids. The evaluation of paranasal sinuses using imaging techniques is necessary to diagnose the problem, and immediate surgery can prevent permanent sequelae in indicated cases.
