Article information

Optic neuritis are clinically demonstrated by a temporary but severe loss of vision and can be caused by a wide variety of diseases. It is unusual for sphenoidal sinusitis to co-exist with acute optic neuritis, so the simultaneous appearance of both diseases would invite aetiological suspicion. We present 2 cases where the first clinical manifestation of infectious sphenoidal pathology was retrobulbar optic neuritis, which reverted with treatment, medical in one case and surgical in the other, of the sinusitis.

Key words:
Optical neuritis
Sinusitis
Mucocele

Las neuritis ópticas pueden estar producidas por una gran variedad de enfermedades y se manifiestan clínicamente como una pérdida de visión temporal pero severa. Es raro que sinusitis esfenoidales coexistan con neuritis ópticas agudas, por lo que su relación invita a la sospecha etiológica. Presentamos 2 casos en los que la primera manifestación de una afección infecciosa esfenoidal fue una neuritis óptica retrobulbar que revirtió tras el tratamiento, médico, en un caso, y quirúrgico, en el otro, de la sinusitis.

Palabras clave:
Neuritis óptica
Sinusitis
Mucocele
