A case report of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis is presented in which the latter occurred following a myelogram with iopamidol. The literature relating to neurotoxicity of contrast agents is reviewed, and it is suggested that the optic neuritis may have been a neurotoxic effect
After intracranial inoculation, neurovirulent mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) strains induce acute inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss in the central nervous system. Prior studies using recombinant MHV strains that differ only in the spike gene, which encodes a glycoprotein involved in virus-host cell attachment, demonstrated that spike mediates anterograde axonal transport of virus to the...
Neuromyelitis optica (also known as Devic's disease or Devic's syndrome) is an uncommon disorder in pediatric age group, and is characterized by acute or subacute optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Here we report an 11- year- old female child with relapsing Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) confirmed by positive NMO- IgG antibody and had clinical recovery with high dose methyl prednisolone t...
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has been traditionally described as the association of recurrent or bilateral optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). Identification of aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) has deeply changed the concept of NMO. A spectrum of NMO disorders (NMOSD) has been formulated comprising conditions which include both AQP4-IgG seropositivity and one of...
The discovery of papilledema in children constitutes a neuroophthalmological emergency; the purpose this report is to help differentiate MOGAD from other differential diagnosis bilateral optic neuritis, especially childhood.
Program Number: 5528 Poster Board Number: B0099 Presentation Time: 8:30 AM–10:15 AM Neuroprotective Effects of Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution (ACCS) in Experimental Optic Neuritis Reas Sulaimankutty1, Kimberly Dine1, Helayna Brown1, Larry R.

PURPOSE Optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickening in optic nerve head (ONH) swelling, but does not provide information on acute axonal disruption. It was hypothesized that scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) compared with OCT might reveal the status of axon integrity and visual prognosis in acute RNFL swelling. METHODS Threshold perimetry, OCT, and SLP ...
BACKGROUND Complement mediated autoimmunity against aquaporin-4 results in astrocytic damage in neuromyelitis optica (NMO). There is evidence for increased CSF glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100B levels in acute NMO. Here we tested whether the CSF finding also holds true for the diagnostic value of serum GFAP and S100B levels in NMO. METHODS A multicentre study included 322 patie...
Neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis: Seeing differences through optical coherence tomography
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that preferentially targets the optic nerves and spinal cord. The clinical presentation may suggest multiple sclerosis (MS), but a highly specific serum autoantibody against the astrocytic water channel aquaporin-4 present in up to 80% of NMO patients enables distinction from MS. Optic neuritis may oc...
A rare case of bilateral optic neuritis is presented in a child with no light perception. Ophthalmic examination revealed dilated pupils without reaction to the light, swollen optic discs with small peripapillary hemorrhages in both eyes. Serology revealed evidence of recent Epstein-Barr virus infection. After treatment with high dose of corticosteroid visual acuity gradually improved. After fo...
