In this paper we review the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in optic neuritis and visual dysfunction due to other optic neuropathies. With advances in MRI technology, it has become possible to visualise optic nerve pathology. STIR and RARE sequences, contrast-enhanced sequences, and phased array surface coils are technical developments that provide fine anatomical detail and that are sensitive to pathological changes. MRI can offer information in the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathies, the monitoring of their treatment, and in some instances should provide new insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

The authors describe a patient with bilateral papilledema, visual field abnormalities, poorly reactive pupils, meningeal enhancement on cranial MRI, and diffuse brain parenchymal hypervascularity. The opening pressure at the time of lumbar puncture was normal, and results of other CSF studies were normal. All abnormalities resolved with home oxygen therapy.
