“…Older patients with NMOSD often present with an insidious onset of symptoms and aggressive progression [18–23], which inspired articles on late onset NMOSD (LO‐NMOSD) [21,24,25].

Therefore, the aim of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical features of VLO‐NMOSD as well as early and late onset groups.…”
