While KFD is rarely associated with ocular manifestations, our case report highlights bilateral optic neuritis in a 13-year-old male patient with KFD. We also provide a comprehensive review of similar cases in the literature.Keywords: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, optic neuritis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, vision deficiency
