A Case of Mu/tiple Sclerosis Presenting As Unilateral Papillitis

Abstract

20% of patients with multiple sclerosis have optic neuritis as the initial symptom. Optic disc may appear normal in 65% of patients (retrobulbar optic neuritis), or optic disc is swollen in %35 of patients (papillitis). So, aproximately 4-7% of patients diagnosed as multiple sclerosis, have papillitis as the initial symptom. We here describe a multiple sclerosis case with papillitis, applying to the clinic with sudden visual loss and gaining full vision in 2 months.
