Ophthalmological and neurological signs and symptoms were assessed in a patient diagnosed with retrobulbar optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient presented with progressive decrease of visual acuity, intermittent diplopia, paresthesia of the left arm and equilibrium disturbances. The complete ophthalmologic examination (clinical examination, visual field, optical coherence tomography) along with an MRI exam supported the diagnosis of MS with active lesions associated with retrobulbar optic neuritis. The corticosteroid therapy, followed by betaferon led to the remission of both ophthalmological and neurological signs. The multidisciplinary approach of the case played an important role in the early establishment of the diagnosis as well as the functional recovery of this patient.
