Günbey C, Konuşkan B. Optic neuropathies in childhood: a review of etiology and treatment. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 471-476. Optic neuropathy (ON) is a common problem in childhood resulting from various causes including ischemic, metabolic, hereditary, traumatic and inflammatory events. The latter represents the most prevalent group; the term `optic neuritis` is generally used for this group which can manifest as part of a systemic inflammatory disease, a central nervous system disorder, or as an isolated entity. The aim of this review is to highlight the clinical characteristics and treatments of ON for pediatricians, focusing on optic neuritis.
