ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recognizing the cause of optic neuritis (ON) affects treatment decisions and visual outcomes.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to define radiological features of first-episode demyelinating ON.METHODS:
We performed blinded radiological assessment of 50 patients presenting with first-episode myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated ON (MOG-ON; n=19), aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-associated ON (AQP4-ON; n=11), multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated ON (MS-ON; n=13), and unclassified ON (n=7).RESULTS:
Bilateral involvement was more common in MOG-ON and AQP4-ON than MS-ON (84% vs. 82% vs. 23%), optic nerve head swelling was more common in MOG-ON (53% vs. 9% vs. 0%), chiasmal involvement was more common in AQP4-ON (5% vs. 64% vs. 15%), and bilateral optic tract involvement was more common in AQP4-ON (0% vs. 45% vs. 0%). Retrobulbar involvement was more common in MOG-ON, whereas intracranial involvement was more common in AQP4-ON. MOG-ON and AQP4-ON had longer lesion lengths than MS-ON. The combination of two predictors, the absence of magnetic resonance imaging brain abnormalities and a higher lesion extent score, showed a good ability to discriminate between an autoantibody-associated ON (MOG or AQP4) and MS. AQP4-ON more frequently had severe and sustained visual impairment.CONCLUSION:
MOG-ON and AQP4-ON are more commonly bilateral and longitudinally extensive. MOG-ON tends to involve the anterior optic pathway, whereas AQP4-ON the posterior optic pathway.Palabras clave
