title: [Retrobulbar optic neuropathy in multiple sclerosis in remission only with parenteral treatment].
abstract: The authors are presenting a case diagnosed with retrobulbar neuritis in the left eye secondary to multiple sclerosis. The symptoms submitted only under infusions with corticosteroids. Despite the lack of methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone was used successfully. This case supports the efficiency of intravenous treatment of optic neuritis as modern therapy in neuro-ophthalmology.
