Abstract
Optic neuritis (ON) is an inflammatory condition that affects the optic nerve and may be associated with various central nervous system demyelinating conditions, infectious diseases, and systemic autoimmune syndromes. This manuscript sheds light on the epidemiologic patterns and diverse clinical features of ON, emphasizing the importance of early detection and prompt treatment. Various studies have revealed geographic and ethnic variations across ON subtypes, which are likely related to the incidence and prevalence of co-associated disorders. Distinguishing ON subtypes may be challenging and requires use of paraclinical tools. Treatment strategies differ depending on the etiology, further highlighting the importance of accurately identifying specific ON subtypes in a timely manner.
期刊介绍：
The journal has a clinical foundation and has been utilized most by clinical neurologists for improving the practice of neurology. While the focus is on neurology in India, the journal publishes manuscripts of high value from all parts of the world. Journal publishes reviews of various types, original articles, short communications, interesting images and case reports. The journal respects the scientific submission of its authors and believes in following an expeditious double-blind peer review process and endeavors to complete the review process within scheduled time frame. A significant effort from the author and the journal perhaps enables to strike an equilibrium to meet the professional expectations of the peers in the world of scientific publication. AIAN believes in safeguarding the privacy rights of human subjects. In order to comply with it, the journal instructs all authors when uploading the manuscript to also add the ethical clearance (human/animals)/ informed consent of subject in the manuscript. This applies to the study/case report that involves animal/human subjects/human specimens e.g. extracted tooth part/soft tissue for biopsy/in vitro analysis.
