Causes of atypical optic neuritis include connective tissue diseases (eg, lupus), vasculitis, sarcoidosis, or neuromyelitis optica. In this manuscript, updated treatment options for both typical and atypical optic neuritis are reviewed. Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids, therapeutic plasma exchange, and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy are all discussed with commentary regarding evidence-based outcomes. Less commonly used treatments and novel purported therapies for optic neuritis are also reviewed. Special scenarios in the treatment of optic neuritis &ndash; pediatric optic neuritis, acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis, and optic neuritis occurring during pregnancy &ndash; are specifically examined.Keywords: optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, treatment, neuroophthalmologyPula JHMacDonald CJDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2012, Iss default, Pp 1211-1223 (2012)
