Neuromyelitis optica and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2019
The review is devoted to up-to-date data on epidemiology, aspects of the pathogenesis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). The authors consider a role of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G (MOG-IgG) in the syndromes phenotypically similar to NMO and NMOSD. Special attention is drawn to the

Diagnosing Neuromyelitis Optica [PDF]

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2013
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe inflammatory demyelinating disorder typically characterized by attacks of recurrent optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging techniques and the discovery of the relatively specific NMO IgG biomarker have led to improved diagnostic accuracy and greater recognition of the broad ...

Neuromyelitis optica

Ophthalmologica, 1994
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 ...

Neuromyelitis Optica

Seminars in Neurology, 2002
Whether neuromyelitis optica (NMO), the co-occurrence of myelitis and optic neuritis, is a variant of multiple sclerosis (MS) or a unique disease is controversial. Distinct neuropathological features and a fulminant clinical course argue in favor of NMO as a distinct disease.

Neuromyelitis optica: An update

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2011
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory condition characterized by the selective involvement of the optic nerves and spinal cord, and by a frequent relapsing course. Many clinical, laboratory and neuroimaging studies have provided useful means to distinguish NMO from multiple sclerosis (MS).

Neuromyelitis optica and pregnancy

Neurology, 2012
The purpose of our study was to assess the influence of pregnancy on the course of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and the impact of epidural analgesia and breastfeeding on its activity in the postpartum period.We performed a retrospective study of patients with NMO diagnosed according to Wingerchuk criteria.

Headache in Neuromyelitis Optica

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2017
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) classically features a clinical presentation that includes longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and optic neuritis. However, many other pathognomonic phenomena have more recently been described in patients diagnosed with NMO, including intractable hiccups, vomiting, and painful tonic spasms, but less has been reported

The spectrum of neuromyelitis optica

The Lancet Neurology, 2007
Neuromyelitis optica (also known as Devic's disease) is an idiopathic, severe, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that preferentially affects the optic nerve and spinal cord. Neuromyelitis optica has a worldwide distribution, poor prognosis, and has long been thought of as a variant of multiple sclerosis; however, clinical, laboratory,

Neuromyelitis optica and pregnancy

Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2016
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and the associated NMO spectrum disorders are demyelinating disorders affecting the spinal cord and optic nerves. It has prominent female predominance and many of these patients are in their childbearing years. As pregnancy seems to have a major impact on this disease course, in this review, recent studies with a focus on ...
