Ultrasonographic assessment of optic nerve: does it help in lupus-induced optic neuropathy? by Amira Elsonbaty, Abdallah El-Sayed Allam, Doaa M Mahmoud, Sara Alattar, Ahmed Hosny Shaaban

“…An ophthalmologist examined all lupus patients and visual evoked potential (VEP) was performed to help evaluate the rule of NMUS in lupus-induced optic neuropathy.Results In this study, we include 140 subjects, 65 lupus patients and 75 controls. Significant enlargement was present among lupus patients OND and ONSD (p= 0.017, 0.004, respectively) in comparison to controls; ultrasonographic evaluation had a high specificity when compared to ophthalmological evaluation and VEP reaching 89.6% and 88.1%, respectively, but with very low sensitivity.Conclusion Ultrasonographic evaluation of the optic nerve may add significant value to the diagnosis of optic neuropathy in patients with SLE and should be considered a complementary tool to other conventional methods.…”
