Optic neuritis and risk of MS: differential diagnosis and management. Cleve Clin J Med. 2009 Mar;76(3):181-90 Authors: Osborne BJ, Volpe NJ Optic neuritis, a cause of sudden vision loss, often heralds the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS) within the next few years. It is important to distinguish optic neuritis from other types of optic neuropathy so that treatment can be started promptly, possibly delaying the onset of MS. PMID: 19258465 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
