Abstract
Seven patients with optic neuritis were found in a study of 84 families with familial multiple sclerosis (MS). Evidence obtained from neurologic examination and electrophysiologic testing tended to confirm monosymptomatic optic nerve involvement. The presence of isolated optic neuritis in these families implies that MS and at least some cases of isolated optic neuritis have a similar etiology.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
