Background Several MRI findings of optic neuritis (ON) have been described and correlated with specific underlying etiologies. Specifically, optic nerve enhancement is considered an accurate biomarker of acute ON. Objective To identify differences in MRI patterns of optic nerve enhancement in certai...
