Multiple sclerosis. Part I: Neuro-ophthalmic manifestations
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 10/29/09

Pula JH et al. – Multiple sclerosis results in various ophthalmic abnormalities. Optic neuritis is the most widely studied visual disturbance in MS, but other unusual visual manifestations such as Charles Bonnet syndrome or the Pulfrich phenomenon also occur. OCT is used to measure thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer. Because thinning of this layer in MS represents axonal loss, OCT is being used to evaluate neuroprotective treatments. The efferent visual system, in particular the medial longitudinal fasciculus pathway, may be a way to measure body temperature–induced changes in MS.
