[Progression of nerve fiber layer defects in retrobulbar optic neuritis by the macular ganglion cell complex].

CONCLUSION: The follow-up of these patients with retrobulbar neuritis is important as shown by the possibility of relapse, especially in multiple sclerosis. Monitoring of the macular ganglion cell complex by a global method of calculation could contribute to the detection and localization of early damage after an episode of retrobulbar neuritis. This could possibly lead to a discussion of treatment modification or increased surveillance in cases of early detection of nerve fiber atrophy, or to showing the importance of monitoring, since monitoring of RBON is not standardized.
