Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 50-year-old woman with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy developed sudden loss of vision in her left eye. The patient had a relative afferent pupillary defect and a large central scotoma on visual field examination, but no abnormal findings were apparent upon slitlamp microscopy and funduscopic examination. A diagnosis of retrobulbar optic neuritis was made. We discuss the possible association of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 infection. |
