Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibody-Associated Optic Neuritis - A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG-associated optic neuritis (ON) is a new subset of demyelinating optic neuropathy.

Case Report: This study presents a case of a 49-year-old woman with MOG-IgG-positive ON, who reported to the ophthalmic emergency room with decreased visual acuity, retrobulbar pain and red color desaturation in her left eye. Abnormalities in the ophthalmological examination were: decreased Snellen's distance best-corrected visual acuity (DBCVA) to 0.

Optic Neuritis Related to Chronic Sphenoid Sinusitis as an Uncommon Cause of Vision Loss: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Optic neuritis is a rare but possible complication of sphenoid sinusitis. CASE REPORT We present a case of a young woman with recurrent optic neuritis associated with chronic sphenoid sinusitis. A 29-year-old woman with visual impairment of the left eye to Snellen distance best-corrected visual acuity (DBCVA) of 0.

Effectiveness of ACTH in Patients with Infantile Spasms.

(1) Background: West syndrome is a severe, refractory, epileptic syndrome that usually appears in infancy or early childhood. ACTH is one of the more effective drugs for treating this condition. (2) Aim of the study and methods: The objective of our study was to examine short-term efficacy (during treatment schedule) and long-term outcome of intramuscular 0.

Comparison of the Structure and Function of the Retina and the Optic Nerve in Patients with a History of Multiple Sclerosis-Related Demyelinating Retrobulbar Optic Neuritis Treated and Not Treated with Systemic Steroid Therapy.

Purpose: To compare the structure and function of the retina and the optic nerve in patients with a history of multiple sclerosis (MS)-related demyelinating retrobulbar optic neuritis treated and not treated with systemic steroid therapy.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-two eyes of 32 MS patients with a past single episode of MS-related demyelinating retrobulbar ON were divided into 2 groups: S(+) consisting of 16 patients treated with intravenous methylprednisolone at a dose of 1g/day for 3 days during the acute stage of ON and S(-) consisting of 16 patients who did not receive any treatment. The following examinations were performed: distance best-corrected visual acuity (DBCVA) (Snellen), slit-lamp examination of the anterior and posterior segment of the eye (90D Volk lens), visual field analysis (Carl Zeiss Humphrey 750 Visual Field Analyzer, 24-2, W-W), macular thickness in the foveal (RT1) and parafoveal region (RT2), as well as peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) in the temporal, superior, nasal and inferior quadrants (Carl Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT), assessment of the bioelectrical function of the visual pathway with an emphasis on the optic nerve - pattern visual evoked potentials (PVEP) and of macular ganglion cells and cone photoreceptors - pattern electroretinogram (PERG) (Roland Consult).
