Neuroretinitis is an inflammatory optic neuropathy that presents with disc edema and macular star formation. While rare, it often mimics papilledema or optic neuritis, especially in children. Misdiagnosis may lead to unnecessary neuroimaging and treatment delays. Because of its overlapping features with other optic nerve disorders, identifying the underlying cause is critical. Recognizing the most common infectious trigger helps guide timely and effective treatment.
