Key Points

This research aims to highlight a unique case of optic neuritis as an early sign of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
Described a case of atypical optic neuritis
Investigated secondary posterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Analyzed the progression towards neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder diagnosis
Atypical optic neuritis presented as an early symptom of NMOSD
Secondary posterior ischemic optic neuropathy confirmed the diagnosis
Findings suggest a need for awareness of optic neuritis as a potential indicator of NMOSD

Implication

Case report outlines optic neuritis leading to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder diagnosis.
