ABSTRACT
Optic neuritis is an inflammatory optic neuropathy, of which the multiple sclerosis is the most common cause. Other causes include infection, tumor, granuloma, vascular disease and so on. A 61 year old male patient was admitted to our hospital with headache for 4 days and decreased visual acuity of left eye for 2 days. He took an operation for sinusitis 5 years ago at other hospital. His maximal corrected visual acuity was 0.1 at admission. A full of soft tissue shadow in bilateral sphenoidal sinuses was identified on paranasal computer to-mographic scan. We operated an endoscopic sinus surgery. His visual acuity was getting better, so the visual field analysis test and visual evoked potential test were improved. We report a successful treatment of optic neuritis from sphenoidal sinusitis with a review of literature. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2005;16:311-315)
