A 43 year-old man had a twenty year history of MS, presenting initially with optic neuritis. Over the past ten years, he developed progressive weakness, numbness and ataxia in the lower extremities.

Oligoclonal IgG bands (OCB) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can herald conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS) in children with demyelinating optic neuritis, a new study reveals. In 357 children with ...

Optic neuritis [ON] is generally identified as the most frequent potential risk factor associated with future development of multiple sclerosis [ms]. Whereas coherency in case of the adult disease is ...

Erythropoietin (EPO), shown in early studies to potentially provide neuroprotection for patients with optic neuritis, failed to provide any significant neuroprotection in comparison with placebo in a ...
