Brainstem demyelination or Optic nerve demyelination is a condition which is known to affect the eye of a patient afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis. A significant number of people affected by MS suffer severely from Brainstem demyelination or Optic nerve demyelination, while nearly half of all patients confront it in a milder form during the course of the illness. Patients complain of diminished colour vision, visual acuity and pain exacerbated by eye movement. The symptoms tend to increase over a period of several hours to 10 days. Recovery begins within one month of the onset. Haemorrhages are usually rare and should be investigated to rule out other infections. Patients with Multiple Sclerosis may have asymptomatic involvement of the optic nerves which may occur frequently.
