Frequency of Nonspecific Optic Nerve Sheath Enhancement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
ONSE can be seen in a small proportion of patients without optic nerve pathology and may be missed in subtle disease, emphasizing the importance of clinical correlation. Higher field strength MRI may improve sensitivity for detecting pathologic ONSE but can have false positives. These findings underscore the need for cautious interpretation of ONSE, particularly in asymptomatic individuals or in the context of high-resolution imaging.
