Optic Neuritis - Treatments
The MedicineNet physician editors ask:
What was the treatment of your optic neuritis?
Mononeuritis multiplex is a form of damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). It is a group of symptoms, not a disease. A part of the nerve cell called the axon is destroyed, which interferes with nerve signaling.
Optic neuritis, which is also referred to as retrobulbar neuritis, is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections. As its name implies, optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve.
Vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis are rarely painful. If you have pain with dizziness, get treatment right away.
Vestibular neuritis (sometimes called vestibular neuronitis) means inflammation of the vestibular nerve. This is the nerve that comes from the inner ear and takes messages from the semicircular canals to the brain.
Retrobulbar neuritis
An inflammation of the optic nerve (a type of nerve located behind the eye), without swelling of the optic disk. The optic disk is a small area that is part of the optic nerve.

Optic neuritis
Introduction
Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve, the bundle of nerve fibers in your eye that transmits visual information to your brain. Pain and temporary vision loss are common symptoms of optic neuritis.
Optic neuritis may be difficult to diagnose, as your eye probably looks perfectly normal. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and will perform a physical examination. He or she should refer you to an ophthalmologist.
Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve. The optic nerve connects to the back of the eye. The cause of this inflammation can be from multiple sclerosis, viral infections, or bacterial infections.
