Tumors have been frequently reported to be associated with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Here we review a case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with complaint of one-sided visual loss. All Lab tests exhibited negative results which decreased the possibility of Auto-immune or neuro-inflammatory
We report a case of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) with a large cerebral lesion. The patient had an episode of fever and consciousness disturbance with a tumefactive frontal white matter lesion at age 43, and then repeated bilateral optic neuritis and transverse myelitis until she died at age 63.
BACKGROUND
Traumatic spinal cord injury patients with quadriplegia associated respiratory compromise are at an immediately increased risk of developing pneumonia, but the onset of pneumonia risk and use of prevention strategies in the patient with quadriplegia due to Neuromyelitis Optica has not
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder characterized by optic neuritis and acute myelitis. A parainfectious pathogenesis may play a partial role in the development of this disorder. Several viral infections are known to cause NMO. Here we report the case of a
A rare case of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, suspected to be bacterial meningomyelitis as the initial manifestation, is reported. The patient presented with initial symptoms of meningomyelitis and fever. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed pleocytosis (1280×106/L [98% lymphocytes]) and
A 39 years old woman was admitted to our hospital with a status epilepticus, with high fever of 41°C. Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed high signal intensities of both sides of thalami and hypothalami in T2 weighted and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. A needle biopsy 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,
We report the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with an elevated serum creatine kinase level (hyperCKemia) associated with an initial attack of neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The patient initially showed general fatigue with fever. Laboratory findings showed hyperCKemia and subsequently she
Monophasic neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare form of post-infection acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Cases occurring after dengue virus infection are rare, despite the high prevalence of this disease in tropical and subtropical countries. We report a female patient, 11 years old, of
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
Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is usually associated with neuromyelitis optica and other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders but this is the first report linking it with dengue fever. Dengue infection can cause a variety of neurological complications which may result in poor
