OBJECTIVE
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) classically features a clinical presentation that includes longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and optic neuritis. However, many other pathognomonic phenomena have more recently been described in patients diagnosed with NMO, including intractable
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system associated with longitudinally extensive myelitis and optic neuritis. It is characterized by relapses that lead to blindness and paralysis sequelaes. But, this is rare disease; therefore high clinical
Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) can have atypical presentations like hiccups, vomiting, etc. which is classically described as the area postrema syndrome. Here we report a case of a 39 year old male patient who presented with features of Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgia (TAC). MRI spine showed long
A 34-year-old woman developed simultaneous bilateral severe optic neuritis and subsequent myelitis. Two months after the first attack, she developed a headache and dysesthesia in the left arm. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple hyperintense lesions in the white matter of the right
BACKGROUND
Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. In the acute phase of these diseases, secondary ischemia due to inflammation-induced endothelial dysfunction may be an important pathological change. Pentraxin 3
An unusual presentation of Devic's neuromyelitis optica (NMO) disease associated with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is described. A 32-year-old pregnant patient was diagnosed with NMO. First symptoms were headache and sudden visual loss in her right eye (RE). Eighteen months ago, she
A 20-year-old woman was hospitalized after experiencing headaches, high fever, and nausea for 1 week. She was conscious and had no abnormal neurological findings or neck stiffness. Examination of her cerebrospinal fluid showed a pronounced elevation of mononuclear cells. She was admitted to our
Brainstem involvement, especially the medulla oblongata (MO), has been reported in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs). The purpose of this study was to investigate retrospectively and compare clinical, laboratory, and imaging features of NMOSDs with and without MO lesions. A total of
A 60-year-old woman had frequent relapses of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) for 30 years despite receiving steroid and azathioprine therapy. She developed MGFA Class IIIb type of myasthenia gravis (MG) at the age of 23, and thymectomy resulted in complete remission of MG. The initial symptoms of NMO,
OBJECTIVE
To report changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in a patient with neuromyelitis optica (NMO).
METHODS
A 13-year-old Caucasian boy presented with reduced visual acuity in both eyes, headache, and neck pain associated with left hand burning sensation. Clinical and laboratory
A 75-year-old Japanese woman developed myelitis 3years prior to her admission. She was diagnosed with HTLV-1-related myelitis and had taken prednisolone. Her myelitis relapsed several times, and serum aquaporin-4 was positive in an ELISA. She developed a sudden headache, consciousness disturbance,
Known since the 19th century, neuromyelitis optica (NMO), or Devic's disease, is an idiopathic immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system selectively affecting the optic nerve and spinal cord. Commonly diagnosed in demyelinating diseases reference centers, we
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders are severe autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system associated with the presence of immunoglobulin G antibodies against the water channel protein aquaporin-4. During exacerbation, specific aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G may be A 57-year-old man initially developed chest discomfort, nausea, vomiting, headache and low-grade fever, followed by paraplegia, sensory disturbance below level Th5 and bilateral visual loss. He was admitted to our hospital on the 15th day of illness. MRI short T1 inversion recovery image showed
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) is a primary headache syndrome with an unclear pathogenesis. However, there is increasing evidence in the literature for secondary SUNCT being attributable to certain known lesions. We explored the
