Abstract

Optic neuritis are clinically demonstrated by a temporary but severe loss of vision and can be caused by a wide variety of diseases. It is unusual for sphenoidal sinusitis to co-exist with acute optic neuritis, so the simultaneous appearance of both diseases would invite aetiological suspicion. We present two cases where the first clinical manifestation of infectious sphenoidal pathology was retrobulbar optic neuritis, which reverted with treatment, medical in one case and surgical in the other, of the sinusitis.
