MeSH Heading: Optic Nerve Diseases
Tree Number(s): C10.292.700; C11.640
Unique ID: D009901
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009901
Annotation: SMON: see note on OPTIC NEURITIS; inflamm dis = OPTIC NEURITIS
Scope Note: Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.
