Abstract: L'oesophagite disséquante chronique (ODC) est une affection rare, d'étiopathogénie jusqu'à présent mal connue. Elle peut être primitive ou secondaire et son diagnostic est facilement établi grâce à un aspect endoscopique évocateur, mais son traitement reste cependant mal codifié. Le but de notre travail est de rapporter neuf observations d'ODC colligées dans le service d'hépato-gastro-entérologie du centre hospitalier universitairede Fès. Patients et méthodes : Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective (2001Ŕ2018) où neuf cas d'ODC ont été colligés. Le diagnostic était posé sur un ensemble de critères cliniques et endoscopiques. Résultats : l'âge moyen des patients était de.......

Abstract: In this prospective study, 22 eyes of 20 optic neuritis patients were examined and followed up for 3 months. Mean age was 47.6 ± 14.05 years. Female preponderance was seen (65% of cases). Papillitis (90% of eyes) was more common than retrobulbar neuritis (10% of eyes). Bilateral presentation was seen in 10% cases. At presentation, most of the eyes presented with visual acuity <6/60 (n=15, 68.18%) which improved to ≥6/60 in most of the patients (n=18, 81.8%) at three months followup.The clinical profile of optic neuritis in Manipur population is different from that in the Western population but similar to Asian population. Unlike reported in the Western literature, papillitis and unilateral presentation was more frequent but poorer outcomes
