Clinical Characteristics, Treatment Outcomes and Predictive Factors in Optic Neuritis.

Conclusion: NMOSD is a more common cause of optic neuritis than MS in Thai population. Female patients with poor initial VA, poor response to steroids treatment, and presenting recurrent attacks are highly suspicious for NMOSD. Optic neuritis without associated demyelinating disease has a better visual outcome and lower recurrence rate. PMID: 30258505 [PubMed]
