  • Title: Demyelinating optic neuritis: clinical features and differential diagnosis.
    Author: Francis DA.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; 1991 Jun; 45(6):376-9. PubMed ID: 2070169.
    Abstract:
    Optic neuritis is a common cause of sudden visual impairment in young adults. Early recognition by the clinician would alleviate much of the anxiety experienced by sufferers, but other conditions that may cause permanent blindness must be excluded. These can usually be discerned from the history and confirmed by a brief neuro-ophthalmological examination.
