UNLABELLED: Optic neuritis (ON) is an inflammatory demyelinating condition that causes acute - usually monocular - visual loss. It is highly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). In general, ON is a clinical diagnosis based upon the history and examination findings.
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of measuring optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasound in acute optic neuritis.
METHODS: This is a prospective observational study with matched controls carried out on 25 patients and 25 controls. All patients presented with first attack of an acute demyelinating ON. Both patients and controls were submitted to clinical assessment, pattern and flash visual evoked potential and trans-orbital sonography (TOS) to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).
RESULTS: The ONSD was significantly thicker in patients with unilateral (0.6 ± 0.05 cm) and bilateral (0.6 ± 0.1 cm) optic neuritis compared to controls (0.52 ± 0.06 cm). P-value was < 0.001 and 0.04 respectively, with a cutoff value 0.57 cm. A significant negative correlation was found between the thickness of the ONSD and the visual acuity (r= -0.613, P-value <0.05). No correlation was found between the age of the patients and ONSD or between ONSD and latency of P-VEP. TOS showed 68% sensitivity and 88% specificity in diagnosing cases of ON.
CONCLUSION: ONSD measured by TOS is a noninvasive, inexpensive bed-side test, which represent a supporting tool to confirm the clinical diagnosis of ON. Yet its sensitivity and specificity are lower than P-VEP.
