摘要
The effect of acute high-dose glucocorticoid therapy on memory function in patients with acute optic neuritis ( n = 9) and multiple sclerosis ( n = 21) was studied. All patients had reversible impairment of long-term memory functions, whereas measures of short-term memory, attentional functions, and alertness remained unaffected.
