Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder

Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo, 2021
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune disorder primarily associated with optic neuritis, myelitis or area postrema syndrome. Several lines of evidence suggest that NMOSD is a humoral immune disease mainly caused by aquaporin-4 antibody and related complement-dependent cytotoxicity against astrocytes.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder with increased aquaporin-4 microparticles prior to autoantibodies in cerebrospinal fluid: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders are severe autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system associated with the presence of immunoglobulin G antibodies against the water channel protein aquaporin-4.

Imaging markers of disability in aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G seropositive neuromyelitis optica: a graph theory study [PDF]

, 2019
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders lack imaging biomarkers associated with disease course and supporting prognosis. This complex and heterogeneous set of disorders affects many regions of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord and ...

Updated diagnostic criteria for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: Similar outcomes of previously separate cohorts

Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical, 2018
Background The specificity of the aquaporin-4 antibody to predict recurrent inflammatory central nervous system disease has led to the design of the 2015 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder criteria which capture all aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive ...

Higher frequency of brain abnormalities in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients without primary Sjögren′s syndrome

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder often co-exists with primary Sjögren′s syndrome. We compared the clinical features of 16 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients with (n = 6) or without primary Sjögren′s syndrome (n = 10).

Severe optic neuritis in a patient with combined neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease and primary Sjögren’s syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2012
Introduction Optic neuritis, although uncommon, can be the initial presentation of Sjögren’s syndrome. Coexisting Sjögren’s syndrome has also been reported with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
