Abstract
Optic neuritis, characterized by acute or subacute vision abnormalities, is an autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) disorder that requires differentiation from other conditions with similar symptoms. Transocular ultrasonography has emerged as an effective tool for assessment of the optic nerve, aiding in both differential diagnosis and prognosis prediction. Moreover, its utility has extended to the evaluation of demyelinating diseases in the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis. This narrative review aims to explore studies using transocular ultrasonography in optic neuritis and CNS demyelinating diseases, highlighting their clinical significance and identifying potential avenues for future research.
