[Optic neuritis in children. Clinical aspects and evolution in 14 patients (author's transl)].
1981
Fourteen children presenting with optic neuritis are reported. Bilateral ocular lesions and papilledema were present in 80% of cases. Biological investigations did not show any local production of IgG or anti-measles antibodies, contrary to what is observed in adults. CAT scan most always rules out a tumoral compression that could be responsible for a sudden decrease in visual acuity. Prognostic factors helpful in predicting evolution towards multiple sclerosis are discussed.
