  • Title: [Optic neuritis in childhood (author's transl)].
    Author: Haller P, Patzold U.
    Journal: Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr Grenzgeb; 1979 Apr; 47(4):209-16. PubMed ID: 255136.
    Abstract:
    The symptoms and signs of twenty-one children under 15 years of age with optic neuritis are presented here. The optic neuritis often was bilateral and accompanied by papilledema. In the acute stage there was however no typical central scotoma in every case. Some children had only peripheral visual field defects. The visual disorder will not improve so much as is general assumed: a slight decrease of visus and visual field defects in static perimetry usually persist. Half of the children developed signs of multiple sclerosis within a few years.
