Tumefactive Brain Lesions in Patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
Background: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune neurological disorder that is characterized by optic neuritis and longitudinally-extended transverse myelitis lesions in spinal segments. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings are part of the diagnostic process in NMOSD patients, and abnormal lesion patterns may cause deviation from a correct diagnosis. Clinical P...
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 کاملNeuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment
The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in the clinical understanding and scienti fi c foundati on of neuromyeliti s opti ca (NMO). The landmark events were the late 19th century report by Devic and Gault describing the associati on of severe acute transverse myeliti s and opti c neuriti s and the late 20th century discovery that the syndrome was associated with a specifi c autoanti bo...
متن کاملPeriventricular Lesions Help Differentiate Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders from Multiple Sclerosis
Objective. To compare periventricular lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOsd). Materials and Methods. Sagittal and axial fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences of 20 NMOsd and 40 group frequency-matched MS patients were evaluated by two neuroradiologists. On axial FLAIR, periventricular area was characterized as free of lesions/smoot...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder with Recurrent Intracranial Hemorrhage
The patient was a woman without hypertension who had previously experienced intracranial hemorrhage twice at 48 and 56 years of age. At 59 years of age, she was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) based on the presence of a brain stem lesion and the detection of anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies. After 5 months of continuous treatment with prednisolone (15 mg/day), sh...
