One common manifestation is optic neuritis, a condition where the optic nerves become inflamed. This inflammation leads to damage of the protective myelin sheaths surrounding the nerves.

The myelin sheaths are crucial for the proper functioning of the optic nerves, and their damage can result in vision impairments.

In addition to optic neuritis, patients may also suffer from transverse myelitis. This is an inflammation affecting a specific section of the spinal cord.

The inflammation in transverse myelitis also results in myelin damage, potentially leading to issues with mobility and sensation.
