“…Optic neuropathies occurring within hours of a booster vaccination might be attributed to an immediate hypersensitivity reaction, while those presenting 2–3 weeks after exposure are consistent with a B- or T-cell–mediated reaction. 12 , 13 , 27 , 28 Cheng and Margo also suggested that adverse events occurring within days to 1 month after vaccination suggest that the occurrences may not be coincidental. 13 …”

“…Riikonen [ 4 ] diagnosed a unilateral optic neuritis and subsequent multiple sclerosis four weeks after rubella vaccination. Stevenson et al [ 5 ] reported two cases, both involving 13-year-olds who developed optic neuritis 2-3 weeks after vaccination for measles and rubella, Arshi et al [ 7 ] described a case of rapid onset optic neuritis in which the complication came out just in few hours in a 16-year-old boy, and Moradian and Ahmadieh [ 6 ] reported two cases of optic neuritis with onset less than 24 hours following measles-rubella vaccination.…”

Purpose. To report a case of unilateral optic neuritis following Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccination. Methods. A 30-year-old female developed unilateral optic neuritis five days after a Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) booster vaccination. The patient displayed unilateral involvement, with severe visual loss. However, visual acuity improved significantly after four days of intravenous steroid therapy with 500 mg/day of methylprednisolone. Conclusions. Optic neuritis is one of the rare complications associated with the mumps, measles, and rubella vaccine. It may be a toxic reaction to the nonviral component of the vaccine, but the exact etiology is unknown. Postvaccination neuritis is generally bilateral and usually affects children. In adults, unilateral optic neuritis is usually correlated with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Encephalitis has been included in the causes of optic neuritis, but post encephalitic optic neuritis has been rarely reported. Majority of the cases of optic neuritis are either idiopathic or associated with multiple sclerosis, especially in western countries. This is very important in the Asian population where the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis is not as high as in the Western countries. Although post infectious optic neuritis is more common in children, it can also be found in adults and is usually seen one to three weeks after a symptomatic infective prodrome. Here, we present a case of a 48 year-old-male who developed optic neuritis following viral encephalitis. His first presentation was with severe headache of two weeks duration. Viral encephalitis was diagnosed and treated. The patient presented again three weeks later with right eye pain and other features typical of optic neuritis. Corticosteroid therapy facilitated prompt recovery. Optic neuritis is an uncommon manifestation of encephalitis. It is important that both doctors and patients remain aware of post infectious cause of optic neuritis, which would enable a timely diagnosis and treatment of this reversible cause of vision loss.
