[Development of multiple sclerosis with ocular onset as compared with other onset forms].

This work is to verify if multiple sclerosis started with a retrobulbar optic neuritis has a more favourable course, compared with the cases started with any other neurological symptomatology according to a large part of AA. We considered 47 cases of M.S. started with R.O.N. hospitalized in our Clinic from 1940 to 1975, controlled with two groups of 47 patients of the Clinic with M.S. without any ocular symptomatology. Any satisfactory information result from this inquiry to prognosticate a more favourable prognosis for the cases started with R.O.N.
