AI Article Synopsis
- Ethambutol can cause optic neuritis as a toxic side effect that is linked to the dosage taken.
- The average duration for optic neuritis caused by Ethambutol is three months.
- A specific case showed optic neuritis occurring after just a few days of Ethambutol use, with symptoms resolving after stopping the medication, indicating a possible unique reaction rather than a standard dose-related issue.
Article Abstract
Optic neuritis has been described among the toxic effects of Ethambutol. This side effect is dose related. The mean duration of Ethambutol induced optic neuritis (EON) is three months. We report a case of EON after few days of exposure to Ethambutol and the symptoms resolved after discontinuation of Ethambutol. This most likely represents an idiosyncratic reaction which is different as compared to dose related optic neuritis.

Objectives: To characterize the serum cytokine profile in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) at onset and during follow-up and assess their utility for predicting relapses and disability.
Methods: This retrospective multicentric cohort study included patients aged 16 years and older meeting MOGAD 2023 criteria, with serum samples collected at baseline (≤3 months from disease onset) and follow-up (≥6 months from the baseline), and age-matched and time to sampling-matched patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Eleven cytokines were assessed using the ELLA system.

Background: Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1, or YKL-40) is an important regulator of immunity and, in the brain, is primarily secreted by activated astrocytes and heralds a neurotoxic inflammatory state. While it has been well known as a high-profile biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and inflammatory brain conditions (e.g.

We present a rare case of optic neuropathy due to anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with optic nerve infiltration in a 12-year-old girl who presented with acute unilateral vision loss, diplopia, and headache after two prior hospitalizations at an outside facility for disk edema. She had a presumptive diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis and empiric treatment had been initiated with high-dose corticosteroids. Ongoing worsening of vision prompted presentation at our facility.

Intracranial Hypertension (ICHT) is identified as the elevation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) pressure in patients devoid of any underlying causes. Optic Neuritis (ON) is not typically seen as a complication of ICHT, and patients diagnosed with concurrent manifestation of both these disorders usually have some identifiable underlying cause. In this report, we highlight the clinical and para-clinical findings in two unrelated children presenting with high CSF opening pressures and Optic neuritis in the absence of any identifiable neurological or immunological cause.

Optic neuritis (ON) is defined as an acquired disorder of the optic nerve that may be associated with demyelinating diseases or infectious or inflammatory processes. In children, the manifestation of this condition differs from that in adults, where it typically presents with bilateral papillitis subsequent to a preceding viral illness. Nonetheless, the main concern for practitioners is the possibility of its conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS).
