[Inflammatory optic neuropathy and multiple sclerosis].
The diagnosis of inflammatory optic neuritis remains essentially clinical, and may be improved by complementary investigations. The prognosis is related to the evolution of visual acuity and the risk of development of multiple sclerosis. The treatment of acute episodes is better precised but remains a matter of debate. Long term treatment has benefited from the results of recent MRI studies.
