Q

What is the saying for retrobulbar neuritis

A

The patient sees nothing and the doctor sees nothing
(the inflammation is behind the optic nerve head (i.e. retrobulbar) as opposed to optic neuritis, and therefore the optic nerve head or the optic disc appears normal)

Q

Presentation of retrobulbar neuritis

A

Visual acuity reduced to a very variable degree
Relative afferent pupillary defect will be apparent during the “swinging flashlight test”
Colour vision reduced to a greater extent than might be predicted from visual acuity
