Abstract
34 Patienten mit einer monosymptomatischen Neuritis nervi optici wurden ophthalmologisch und kernspintomographisch untersucht. Es fanden sich in 18 Patienten klinisch stumme, kernspintomographisch signalintensive Zonen, die in ihrer Verteilung der einer multiplen Sklerose glichen. Sowohl Schwere der Visusminderung als auch Verlauf der Visusremission standen in keinem Zusammenhang zum kernspintomographischen Befund. Die Patientengruppe über 27 Jahren zeigte mit 57% gegenüber den jüngeren Patienten mit 42% einen höheren Anteil pathologischer kernspintomographischer Befunde. 34 patients with monosymptomatic optic neuritis were examined ophthalmologically and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 18 patients subclinical lesions with a high MRI signal intensity were found. The distribution of these lesions was similar to that seen in multiple sclerosis. Neither the severity of the visual impairment nor the course of remission correlated to the MRI findings. Pathologic MRI findings were more common in patients aged over 27 than in younger patients (57% vs. 42%).This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
