Therefore we studied and analyesed 20 patients with acute optic neuritis for cinical features and prognosis and obtained the results as follows;
the male to female ratio was 1:4
The age at onset ranged from 9 to 70 years.
unilateral involvement of ON was detected in 10 cases (50%); the others were bilateral (10 cases, 50%).
papillitis was present in 6 cases (30%0 and the disk was normal (retrobulbar) in the other 7 cases (35%).
Recovery of visionwas noted within 2 weeks in 8 eyes (34.8%) and in 19 eyes (82.2%0 within 2 months.
