Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, visual outcomes of pediatric patients presenting with first-episode of optic neuritis. Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records of the patients newly diagnosed with optic neuritis younger than 18 years between January 2014 and December 2018 retrospectively. Results: Twenty-eight patients were included to this study. The mean age at first onset of optic neuritis was 13.2±3.1 (range 6.2-17.3) years. The mean follow-up period was 4.2±3.2 (range 0.6-13.08) years. Seven (25%) patients had recurrent optic neuritis. Optic neuritis involvement was unilateral in 17 (60%) patients. Forty percent of the patients had idiopathic optic neuritis. Of the six patients with demyelinating lesions in cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the first admission, three were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the time of first optic neuritis attack, and three were diagnosed within 13.4±4.8 months after the first episode. Eight (38%) of 21 optic neuritis patients had oligoclonal band positivity and the incidence of MS was significantly higher in these patients (p=0.014). The mean visual acuity at nadir was 0.48±0.27 at admission. Whereas it was 0.74±0.31 and 0.76±0.33 at 1 and 6 months respectively. There was a strong correlation between first and sixth-month visual acuity (r=0.98, p=0.001). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated th at poor visual acuity (worse than 0.5) at 1 mont h can predict poor vision at 6 months. The patients with demye linating lesions in cranial MRI at their first optic neuritis episode, are more likely to develop MS during the follow-up.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amac ı, ilk kez optik nörit ata ğı ile başvuran çocuk hastaların klinik özelliklerini ve göz bulgularını tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2014 ile Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında 18 ya şından küçük, optik nörit tanısı alan hastaların t ıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Bulgular: Bu çal ışmaya 28 hasta dahil edildi. Optik nöritin ilk başlangıç ya şı ortalama 13,2±3,1 (6,2-17,3) yıl idi. Ortalama takip süresi 4,2±3,2 (0,6-13,08) yıldı. Hastaların 7 (%25)'sinde tekrarlayan optik nörit vardı. Optik nörit tutulumu 17 (%60) hastada tek tarafl ıydı. Hastaların %40'ında optik nörit idiyopatikti. İlk başvuruda beyin manyetik rezonans görüntülemede (MRG) demiyelinizan lezyonu olan altı hastanın üçüne ilk optik nörit atağı sırasında multipl skleroz (MS) tan ısı kondu. Üçüne ise ilk optik nörit ata ğından sonra ortalama 13.4±4,8 ay içinde MS tan ısı konuldu. Yirmi bir optik nörit hastasının sekizinde (%38) oligoklonal bant pozitifli ği vard ı ve bu hastalarda MS insidans ı anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p=0.014). Hastaların ilk ba şvuru anında en dü şük ortalama görme keskinliği Snellen testine göre 0.48±0.27 idi. Birinci ve 6. ayda sırasıyla Snellen testine göre 0.74±0.31 ve 0.76±0.33 idi ve birinci ve 6. ay görme keskinli ği arasında güçlü bir ili şki vardı (r=0.98, p=0.001). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, optik nörit tanısı alan hastaların 1. aydaki görme keskinliğinin düşük olmasının (0,5'ten daha kötü) 6. ayda görme keskinliğinin kötü olabileceğini öngörebildiği gösterilmiştir. İlk optik nörit atağında beyin MRG'de demiyelinizan lezyonların olması, takiplerde MS geli şebilmesi açısından risk faktörü olabilir.
