ages; according to some authors more commonly young females. Pathologically the disease resembles disseminated sclerosis in that there is demyelinization of axis cylinders. The spinal cord shows such diffuse or multiple disseminated lesions. The optic nerves also present the same type of lesions. Clinically the disease is quite distinct from disseminated sclerosis.

متن کاملNeuromyelitis Optica
An 11-year-old girl developed sudden visual loss in her left eye, preceding subacute myelitis by 9 months. Multifocal lesions in the central nervous system were demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging. Although unilateral blindness is unusual, the clinical findings predominantly involving the optic nerve and spinal cord were consistent with the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO). This c...
متن کاملTreatment of neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with methotrexate
BACKGROUND To review our experience using methotrexate as a single long-term immunosuppressant (IS) therapy in neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMO/NMOSD). METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients with a diagnosis of NMO/NMOSD, supported by a positive NMO-IgG testing, who were treated with methotrexate. A paired sample 2 tailed t test was ...
متن کاملAssociation Between Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Seronegative Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease in the central nervous system. Association between NMOSD and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been investigated, but few studies have assessed the relationship between H. pylori and seronegative AQP4-Ab NMOSD. Objectives: This study aimed to survey the association between H. pylori...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and varicella-zoster infection.
Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is an autoimmune condition that predominantly targets optic nerves and spinal cord. The discovery of NMO-IgG and its target aquaporin-4 (AQP4) as a marker of NMO allowed a better understanding of the disease and, recently, a new definition and diagnostic criteria for NMO spectrum diseases (NMOSD) have been proposed [1]. In a subgroup of patients with NMOSD, a parainfe...
