Abstract

Based on a numerous data (220 patients, 285 eyes) clinical criteria of differential diagnosis of optic neuritis and nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy are studied. Neuronal network method was used for multivariate analysis of studied parameters, that allowed to estimate linear and nonlinear correlations of different factors, significance of every diagnostic criteria for the identification of etiology of optic neuropathies.
