Abstract

With the improvement of diagnostic technology, the diagnosis of optic neuritis (ON) has become increasingly accurate. Due to the special characteristics of the pediatric population, there is currently a lack of large‑scale studies and related guidelines on pediatric ON. This case report describes the complete diagnosis and treatment process of a 7‑year‑old male patient with bilateral acute ON, from onset to symptom relief. During the outpatient stage, the patient was suspected of having different types of ON by different departments, but the diagnosis was confirmed through antibody testing after hospitalization. The treatment plan for this case was based on the current plan for adults and the prognosis was better than that of adults with similar characteristics. This suggests that pediatric ON has its own features and requires more case reports and clinical research for further exploration and summary.
