Abstract

Our purpose was to evaluate the etiological of patients who are followed up with optic neuropathy in our clinic. Optic neuritis is the inflammation of the optic nerve. Neuropathy is named like anterior optic neuritis or papillitis, retrobulber neuritis and neuroretinitis, according to the location of the inflamation on the optic nerve. The most common cause of optic neuropathy under the age of 50 is optic neuritis, and above the age of 50 years is nonarteritic optic neuropathy. Optic neuropathy is defined as the decrease of visual function due to inflammatory lesion of the optic nerve. The patient with optic neuropathy has to be evaluated clinically but also with multidisciplinary techniques (radiological imaging methods optic cohorence tomography, visual evoked potentials, cerebrospinal fluid examination) because optic neuropathy could be the presenting symptom in multiple sclerosis patients and these patients should be followed by the neurologist in order to signal the appearance of new neurological signs. In our clinic, 50 patients who were diagnosed with optic neuropathy between April 2015 and May 2017 were examined, retrospectively. As a result of this, optic neuropathy etiology differs between age groups, ischemic factors come into prominence especially in older ages and gender predisposition is not seen.
