Abstract

Background: Optic neuritis is the inflammation of the optic nerve and its etiology may be infectious, vasculitic, parainfectious/autoimmune, or it may be the manifestation of a demyelinating disorder. It is characterized by loss of acute visual acuity, pain on eye movement, and reduced ability to perceive color. In children, the peak presentation is between 9-11 years and the estimated annual incidence in the pediatric population is 0.2 per 100,000 children. Case report: In this case report we will talk about an 11-year-old patient who presented acute loss of vision, secondary to optic neuritis, which was generated as a consequence of pulmonary tuberculosis infection without involvement of the central nervous system. Conclusions: When making the diagnosis of optic neuritis it is important to clarify the etiology, in order to give a targeted treatment.
