Anatomical Connection

Close anatomical connection between the optic nerve and the posterior nasal appendages and the commonality of their circulatory system explain optic nerve lesions in purulent and catarrhal processes in the posterior sinuses. N.A. Khristianov describes a case of left-sided retrobulbar optic neuritis cured by opening the middle and posterior lattices of the same side, affected by chronic catarrh.

Retrobulbar Optic Neuritis

Background/Aim. Retrobulbar (optic) neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve that may cause a complete or partial loss of vision. This inflammation can affect a part of the nerve within the eyeball (neuropapillitis) or a part of the nerve behind the eyeball (retrobulbar neuritis). The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a correlation between the diameter of a retrobulbar part of the optic nerve and either visual acuity, prominence of the optic disk (papillitis), or nature of the neuritis (papillitis or retrobulbar). Methods. We tested 23 patients with retrobulbar neuritis and papillitis. In addition to a complete ophthalmologic examination, the diameter of retrobulbar region of the optic nerve was measured by the B-scan method. Following this, the 30-degree test was carried out. Results. We found an increased thickness of the retrobulbar region in 22 patients and different responses to the 30-degree test, as well as a statistically significant negative correlation between the thickness of retrobulbar part of the optic nerve and visual acuity. Conclusion. The retrobulbar part of the optic nerve is thicker in 94% of the patients with retrobulbar neuritis and in all the patients with papillitis. There is a correlation between the reduction of visual acuity and thickening of a retrobulbar part.

Optic Nerve Compression

A 59-year-old male who presented with a nonspecific headache at the vertex, resembling retrobulbar optic neuritis, was treated as such but did not show any improvement. Although optic nerve compression from sphenoid mucocele was finally discovered, the delayed diagnosis and improper treatment led to a permanent visual loss. Optic neuritis could be caused by a common problem, “mucocele/sinusitis,” but might be easily overlooked in general practice. Rhinogenic optic neuropathy should, therefore, be considered in every case of optic neuritis whenever atypical presentation occurs or is unresponsive to high-dose steroid treatment.

Special Case

The optic nerve carries visual information from your eye to your brain. Optic neuritis is when your optic nerve becomes inflamed. Optic neuritis can flare up suddenly from an infection or nerve disease. The inflammation usually causes temporary vision loss that typically happens in only one eye. Those with Optic neuritis sometimes experience pain. As you recover and the inflammation goes away, your vision will likely return. There are no direct references in our classics regarding optic neuritis but can be contemplated as a condition by name Parimlayi Timira. The specific management as such is not cited but a transcendence approach can be done with adopting the treatment which has the ability to pacify the already occurred pathology and prevent the further development of the disease. One such interesting case study on Optic neuritis is elaborated here where in specific treatment modalities (Shodana, Shamana and Kriyakalpas) played role in pacifying the condition.
