Abstract

ABSTRACT In order to review the clinical features of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody positive optic neuritis (MOGON), we investigated the clinical characteristics, visual function, optical coherence tomography findings, and magnetic resonance imaging of 31 patients (44 eyes). MOGON was more common in middle age without sex difference and was characterised by pain on eye movement and optic disc swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging lesions tended to be long with inflammation around the optic nerve sheath; longer lesions were associated with worse visual acuities at onset. Recurrence was significantly associated with retinal nerve fibre layer thinning, and thus, it is important to reduce recurrence as much as possible.
