Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Optic Neuritis, Experience of the Optic Neuritis Study Group
Arch Neurol 50:841-846, Beck,R.W.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Of the scans,40.9%were classified as grade 0,10.8%as grade I,9.1%as grade II,6.7%as grade III,and 32.5%as grade IV.For patients with isolated (monosymptomatic)optic neuritis,26.7%had two or more lesions.We found a lower prevalence of brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities in isolated optic neuritis than previous studies have reported.This likely is due to our study having a higher degree of standardization of patient inclusion criteria,which limited patient selection bias.
