Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve.
Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause.
Loss of vision may develop, and there may be pain with eye movement.
Magnetic resonance imaging is done.
If multiple sclerosis seems possible, corticosteroids may be given.(See also Overview of Optic Nerve Disorders.)
