Plasma Exchange is Effective in a 13-Year-old Girl with Steroid-Resistant Bilateral Optic Neuritis

We describe a 13-year-old girl presenting with steroid-resistant bilateral optic neuritis. After plasma exchange (PE), the girl experienced full recovery of her visual acuity. During a 4-year follow-up no relapse occurred. As far as we know, this is the first report of PE treatment in optic neuritis in a child.
