title: [Thermography in the diagnosis of vascular neuritis of the optic nerve].
abstract: A new method for diagnosing vascular neuritis of optic nerve by means of thermography is proposed. Among 47 patients with diagnosis of optic nerve neuritis of unclear etiology, in 37 of them vascular genesis of the disease was diagnosed. The thermograms have shown appearance of dark "cold" spots and a fall of temperature by 1.0 degrees C and lower in the supraorbital and orbital areas of the affected eye. The method is highly precise (90.27%, sensitive (94.9%) and doesn't require long time.
