title: Optic neuropathy in Hodgkin's disease.
abstract: Hodgkin's disease is a rare cause of infiltrative optic neuropathy, which typically evolves late in the disease course. We managed an unusual case of isolated optic neuropathy in a 21-year-old man occurring during clinical remission from Hodgkin's disease. Radiotherapy and treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroids resulted in dramatic improvement in vision. Even without other evidence of recurrent disease, acute-onset optic neuropathy in a patient with a history of a lymphoproliferative disorder should raise the question of a reemergence of the malignancy.
