Optical coherence tomography in acute optic neuritis: A population‐based study

Objectives To measure early structural damage caused by autoimmune inflammatory optic neuritis (ON) by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a population‐based cohort. Methods In a prospective population‐based study over 24 months in Southern Denmark, patients diagnosed with acute ON and without prior diagnosis of a chronic neuroinflammatory disorder were included and examined with OCT, visual evoked potentials (VEP), visual fields, high contrast visual acuity (HCVA), and low contrast letter acuity (LCLA). Structural and functional outcomes were determined at 6‐month follow‐up based on interocular differences. Results The 50 included patients had on average 16.9 μm peripapillary ...
