Visual field perimetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), MRI, serologic testing, and CSF analysis may help to focus the differential diagnosis or identify an alternative diagnosis. Differentiating between various causes of optic neuritis, however, often requires a multifaceted evaluation that extends beyond a clinical history and neuro-ophthalmologic examination. In addition, understanding the cause of optic neuritis informs on visual prognosis, illuminates future health risks, and directs additional evaluations and treatments. Rapid determination of the etiology of optic neuritis is important for implementing timely and appropriate treatment. Multiple causes of optic nerve inflammation exist: autoimmunity, infection, granulomatous disease, paraneoplastic disorders, and demyelination. Optimal care of patients with optic neuritis therefore depends on rapid recognition, appropriate diagnostic studies, and early institution of effective therapies. As a result, the prognosis and treatment of optic neuritis will vary depending upon the etiology, the duration and severity of vision loss, prior injury, and the success of prior treatment. While optic neuritis is frequently associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), the causes of optic neuritis are protean. Optic neuritis, or inflammation of the optic nerves, is a frequent cause of acute optic nerve injury in children and adults.
