Retrobulbar optic neuritis

Retrobulbar neuritis is generally divided into acute and chronic, and the latter is more common. Due to the different parts of the optic nerve invasion, the posterior optic nerve can be divided into many different types: lesions most often invade the optic disc macular bundle fibers, which are also known as axial neuritis because the bundle fibers are in the central part of the optic nerve in the orbital posterior orbit. When the lesion invades the peripheral fiber bundles of the optic nerve by the nerve sheath, it is called peripheral nerve stromal inflammation. This is only a pathological change and it is not easy to be diagnosed clinically. If the entire optic nerve fiber is transected and affected, there is no light perception. Transverse optic neuritis.
