Check forupdates

Optic perineuritis (OPN) is a rare inflammatory dis-ease involving the optic nerve sheath [1], causing pain and disc edema and is often bilateral [2]. The diagnosis of OPN is commonly based on magnetic resonance im-aging (MRI) findings and clinical features [3]. In MRI it is possible to visualize a circumferential enhancement around the intraorbital optic nerve with preservation of the nerve itself (doughnut sign) [4]. This is better seen in contrast-enhanced and suppressed coronal MRI se-quences with fat. Magnetic resonance imaging may also show enhancement of orbital fat and slight increase in extraocular muscles [1]. The etiologies of OPN include syphilis [5,6], tuberculosis [7,8], herpes zoster [9], sar-coidosis [10,11], Wegener’s granulomatosis [12], gran-ulomatosis associated with polyangiitis [13], giant cell arteritis [14,15] Crohn’s disease [16], Behçet’s disease [1], acute retinal necrosis [17]. However, in most cases, no specific etiology is identified and these cases are cat-egorized as idiopathic OPN [18].

A 68-year-old woman started with a subacute onset of progressive visual acuity worsening associ-ated with bilateral retrobulbar pain about 4 months ago. Fundoscopy was normal and reduced direct and consensual photo motor reflex. Sicca syndrome was confirmed in Schirmer test. Rheumatoid factor was
