摘要
Dear Editor,Optic perineuritis is a rare inflammatory disorder involving the optic nerve sheath and its adjacent tissues.This condition shows dramatic responses to steroid treatment, although relapse is common. Additional characteristics of optic perineuritis include the sparing of central vision on a visual field test, relatively good initial visual acuity, and optic disc edemaI^l. Most cases are idiopathic, although some rare cases have been associated with specific infections, such as syphilis and viral infections, and autoimmune disorders including We- gener's granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, and giant cell arteritis.
