title: [Neuroophthalmic symptoms of multiple sclerosis].
abstract: The significance of neuroophthalmological symptoms in the diagnosis of disseminated sclerosis are analyzed. Fifty-two patients presented with the optic form of the disease of different severity. Subclinical stage of contralateral involvement was detected in patients with unilateral retrobulbar neuritis, which indicated dissemination of the process. Diseases of optic and oculomotor nerves of unknown etiology in young subjects can be an early symptom of disseminated sclerosis. The frequency of ocular and oculomotor disorders in disseminated sclerosis dictates regular neuroophthalmological examinations of patients with suspected disseminated sclerosis for early detection of the disease, which is particularly important for prediction of its course and outcome.
