When it occurs postpartum during lactation, it is called lactation optic neuritis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main issue<\/jats:title>\n We present four cases of optic neuritis in lactating mothers, two of which had additional features of demyelinating disease upon neurological imaging.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Management<\/jats:title>\n All participants were treated with high dose intravenous steroids followed by 11 days of oral steroids, per the optic neuritis treatment trial, which led to complete recovery of vision. Two participants with demyelinating disease on magnetic resonance imaging scans were advised to wean, because of a need for immunosuppressive therapy later.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Optic neuritis during lactation should be suspected following acute loss of vision. Prompt referral to an ophthalmologist is mandated for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term co-morbidities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0890334420970496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,17]],"date-time":"2020-11-17T12:38:54Z","timestamp":1605616734000},"page":"577-580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Optic Neuritis During Lactation: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Johnson","family":"Jeslin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuro Ophthalmology Services, Aravind Eye Hospital & Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Coimbatore, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Seetharaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Kovai Medical Center and Hospitals, Coimbatore, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6899-6690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Virna M.","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuro Ophthalmology Services, Aravind Eye Hospital & Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Coimbatore, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02173537"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","first-page":"1132","article-title":"Exclusive breastfeeding and the effect on postpartum multiple sclerosis relapses","volume":"72","author":"Hellwig K.","year":"2015","unstructured":"Hellwig K., Rockhoff M., Herbstritt S., Borisow N., Haghikia A., Elias-Hamp B., Menck S., Gold R., Langer-Gould A.
