Rhinogenous retrobulbar optic neuritis is character-ized by neuritis secondary to paranasal sinusitis. A case of rhinogenous retrobulbar optic neuritis that was successfully treated by surgery is reported. A 40-year-old man complained of progressive right visual disturb-ance. The clinical course and neurological examination suggested right retrobulbar optic neuritis. CT and MRI scans demonstrated a massive tumor-like lesion near the right optic canal. Fifteen days after the onset, de-compression of the right optic nerve was performed us-ing a right pterional approach. After surgery, visual dis-turbance improved, and after about 1 month, the symp-tom had disappeared. Operative findings, histological examination and the postoperative course were consis-tent with the characteristics of rhinogenous retrobulbar optic neuritis. We consider decompression of the optic nerve to be effective for the treatment of rhinogenous retrobulbar optic neuritis.
