Is Hemorrhagic Demyelinating Lesions of Central Nervous System a Spectrum?

O 14: Differentiating Demyelinating Disorders of the Central Nervous System – a Focus on Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis-Optica Spectrum Disorders

Significant advances have been made in diagnosis and therapy of demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system. The most common entities of this disorders in adults – multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica were initially thought to be different phenotypes of more or less the same disease. During the last ten years, this view was subsequently changed and the term neuromyelitis ...

HCV-Related Central and Peripheral Nervous System Demyelinating Disorders

Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is associated with a large spectrum of extrahepatic manifestations (EHMs), mostly immunologic/rheumatologic in nature owing to B-cell proliferation and clonal expansion. Neurological complications are thought to be immune-mediated or secondary to invasion of neural tissues by HCV, as postulated in transverse myelitis and encephalopathic forms. Prim...

[Central nervous system demyelinating disease-associated uveitis].

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology, clinical features and visual prognosis in uveitis associated with demyelinating disease (DD) of the CNS. METHODS A clinical, retrospective, and descriptive study was performed. Data regarding age at presentation, gender, time from onset was recorded, as well as, type of uveitis, complications, treatment and initial and final visual acuity (BCVA) on all ...

Acquired demyelinating and other autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system in children.

Over the past 5 years, our knowledge has been significantly enhanced in the field of immune-mediated inflammatory disorders of central nervous system in children. These exciting developments along with identification of novel autoimmune markers have provided new diagnostic approaches and, more important, have led to appropriate immunotherapy to halt disease progression and prevent relapses.
