Neuroretinitis, originally described by Leber at the turn of the 20th century, has long perplexed ophthalmologists due to its multiple recognized causes and often atypical presentation. Optic disk edema and macular star in the affected eye are well-agreed upon findings and are due to increased permeability of blood vessels near the optic disk and in the retina at large. It also is universally painless and presents with a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) in the affected eye or eyes. However, depending on the infectious agent, an underlying autoimmune condition, or undefined idiopathic cause, there can be various degrees of vision loss, visual field loss, progression or recurrence, as well as involvement of the other eye. We present this case of presumed sequential idiopathic neuroretinitis with severe vision and visual field loss with a low-positive anti-MOG test in the border county of El Paso.
