Neuromyelitis Optica

Neuromyelitis optica diagnosis in clinically isolated syndromes suggestive of multiple sclerosis

“…5 Relapsing forms with important sequelae after each attack leading to severe disability were identified afterwards. 6 It has also been suggested that the occurrence of recurrent optic neuritis or myelitis without the complementary event may represent fragments of NMO. 7 Finally, NMO with less aggressive clinical attacks (i.e., unilateral optic neuritis) separated by years and better prognosis expanded the spectrum of NMO, 7 which shares clinical features with MS and may cause diagnostic confusion.…”

A case of optic neuritis and transverse myelitis in a postpartum Ghanaian female

“…1 It is more common among Asians and Africans, with a female predominance (females comprise over two-thirds of patients and more than 80% of those with the relapsing form of the disease). 2 The mean age of onset is 35 to 47 years.…”

“…First described by Eugene Devic in 1894, NMO is a rare, chronic inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. 1 It is more common among Asians and Africans, with a female predominance (females comprise over two-thirds of patients and more than 80% of those with the relapsing form of the disease). 2 The mean age of onset is 35 to 47 years.…”
