Background - We investigated the frequency of blood-retina barrier impairment in optic neuritis (ON) using gadolinium leakage in ocular structures (GLOS), a novel imaging marker on contrast enhanced fluid attenuated inversion recovery images (FLAIR). - Methods - In 12 patients with acute ON who underwent repeated MRI the presence of GLOS was noted on contrast-enhanced FLAIR. - Results - Bilateral GLOS was observed in 4 (33.3%): in 3 symmetrical, and in 1 asymmetrical. In the latter GLOS was ipsilateral to the ON. - Conclusions - GLOS may be observed frequently in ON. Asymmetrical GLOS may be caused by a more local effect of ON.
