- 3.3. Key Points  Optic Neuritis: an acute inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the optic nerve that typically presents with monocular vision loss, dyschromatopsia, and eye pain.  MS: an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS characterized by attacks and lesions disseminated in space and time.

- Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve, caused by damage to and loss of the protective sheath (myelin) surrounding this nerve that is so vital for good vision. Demyelinating optic neuritis is another term for this eye condition.

- Tendonitis, also spelled Tendinitis, is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Chronic strain, overuse or misuse of a tendon leading to a repetitive stress injury, or a serious acute injury can lead to a weakness, tear or swelling of the tendon tissue resulting in pain and stiffness near the tendon.ain and stiffness of the tendon and the area surrounding it is the main symptom of Tendonitis as well as burning that surrounds the entire joint. Pain can worsen during and after activity involving the tendon. The area can become stiffer the following day and a general loss of motion at the joint may occur.

Cellulitis Cellulitis is a common infection of the skin and the soft tissues underneath the skin. It occurs when bacteria invade broken or normal skin and start to spread under the skin and into the soft tissues. This results in infection and inflammation. Inflammation is a process in which the body reacts to the bacteria. Inflammation may cause swelling, redness, pain, and/or warmth. 1  People at risk for developing cellulitis include those with trauma to the skin or other medical problems such as the following risk factors: 2  Diabetes.

Cellulitis Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin. Unlike impetigo, which is a very superficial skin infection, cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that also involves the skin's deeper layers: the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The main bacteria responsible for cellulitis are Streptococcus and Staphylococcus (staph), the same bacteria that can cause impetigo and other diseases.

Optic neuritis It is also called papillitis (when the head of the optic nerve is involved) and retrobulbar neuritis (when the posterior of the nerve is involved). It is caused by many different conditions, and it may lead to complete or partial loss of vision. The most common cause is multiple sclerosis.

- Optic neuritis is an inflammatory disease of the optic nerve that typically affects young adults. Women are affected more often than men. It is second only to glaucoma as the most common acquired optic nerve disorder in persons younger than age 50.n this disorder, closely linked to multiple sclerosis, prognosis for visual recovery is generally good. However, return of visual function is almost never complete. After resolution of optic neuritis, virtually all patients show some signs of optic nerve damage, and most are symptomatic.

optic neuritis Optic neuritis occurs when the optic nerve, the pathway that transmits visual information to the brain, becomes inflamed and the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve is destroyed (a process known as demyelination).

Optic Neuritis Optic neuritis is an inflammation that affects the myelin lining of the optic nerve, which transmits visual stimuli to the brain. The optic nerve is actually a nerve tract of axons that originate in the ganglion cells of the retina. Nerve tracts are the information pathways in the brain. Other causes include infections, autoimmune disease, and injury to the optic nerve. 2  The symptoms of optic neuritis include vision loss, reduced color vision, and pain on movement of the eye with recovery over weeks to a month, in most cases.

- Vestibular neuritis is a disorder that affects the nerve of the inner ear called the vestibulocochlear nerve. This nerve sends balance and head position information from the inner ear to the brain.ests to help determine if symptoms might be caused by vestibular neuritis include hearing tests, vestibular (balance) tests and a test to determine if a portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve has been damaged.

- The exact cause of optic neuritis is unknown. However, optic neuritis is believed to develop when the immune system mistakenly targets the substance covering your optic nerve (myelin), resulting in inflammation and damage to the myelin.

Neuralgia Causes of neuritis include: 1  Shingles – inflammation of a nerve, caused by infection with the herpes virus. 2  Infection – the nerve can be irritated by nearby infection, such as a tooth abscess. 3  Pressure or injury – broken bones, slipped vertebral discs (sciatica) or certain tumours can press and irritate a nerve.
