Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare, benign, and self-limiting condition characterized by lymph node inflammation. 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.
