Area Postrema Syndrome: An Initial Presentation of Double-Seropositive AQP4 and MOG Antibodies. [PDF]
Neurol Clin Pract, 2022 Area postrema syndrome (APS) is one of the core clinical features of neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorder (NMOSD). APS is mostly associated with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and rarely reported in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease. We herein report a case of APS as an initial presentation of double-seropositive aquaporin-4 and myelin ...
