Abstract

Optic nerves are paired cranial nerves and are unique as they represent the extension of the central nervous system (CNS). It is involved in many cases of acute vision loss, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the detection of its pathologies due to excellent tissue contrast and better delineation of the optic nerve pathways. In this pictorial and narrative review, we present MRI findings in varied cases of acute vision loss due to optic nerve involvement.
