Six-Month Visual Outcomes in Pediatric Optic Neuritis: A Multicenter Study From South Korea.

Bilateral optic neuritis and optic disc swelling were observed in 56.8% and 81.8% of patients, respectively.

The final 6-month diagnoses included myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (n = 30 [68.2%]), isolated optic neuritis (n = 11 [25.0%]), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (n = 2 [4.5%]), multiple sclerosis (n = 1 [2.3%]).

At the 6-month follow-up, 50.0% showed improvement in the visual category, 50.0% maintained their visual category, and none experienced deterioration.

There were no significant predictors related to poor BCVA at enrolment and at 6 months.
