Optic perineuritis is a rare manifestation of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO). Relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) is an important early clue to an impending nerve involvement, and robust clinical examination allows early detection of such rare metachronous manifestation of cutaneous HZ and institution of timely management for such sight-threatening conditions.

A unique case of a female adolescent diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) monophasic optic neuritis with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation antibody profile on a remote Greek island is presented, highlighting the challenges of diagnosing rare conditions in rural settings and the importance of connecting centers of expertise with regional hospitals. The 16-year-old patient presented with progressive vision loss, headache, and retrobulbar pain in the right eye. Initial ophthalmological examinations showed decreased visual acuity and color vision deterioration.

- Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) can lead to various neuro-ophthalmic symptoms like vision loss, and this case highlights a 53-year-old woman who experienced bilateral painless vision decline alongside other neurological issues.* -
- Despite elevated inflammatory markers and a thorough work-up revealing no clear cause, brain MRI indicated possible WE, prompting immediate high-dose thiamine treatment, which led to significant improvement.* -
- The case stresses the importance of considering vision loss in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) patients and suggests that while checking thiamine levels is important, starting treatment based on clinical suspicion is often necessary and safe.*
