title: [Diagnosis and therapy of optic neuritis].
abstract: Time-consuming and complicated electrophysiological methods need only be applied in unclear cases of optic neuritis. In the majority of patients it is possible to demonstrate opticus conduction disturbance with exact clinical subjective and objective tests. Some neuroophthalmological investigations that are well-suited for routine use are described more closely. Our own investigations of 190 patients demonstrated - in accordance with the modern medical literature - that the nowadays usual therapeutic measures do not influence the course of an optic neuritis essentially.
