BACKGROUND Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is characterized by optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive acute transverse myelitis. The brain is generally considered healthy in NMO, though very recent studies have demonstrated that magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities may be observed in various brain regions of NMO patients. To date, cognitive functions have never been investigated in NMO. O...

متن کاملBrain Abnormalities in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an idiopathic inflammatory syndrome of the central nervous system that is characterized by severe attacks of optic neuritis (ON) and myelitis. Until recently, NMO was considered a disease without brain involvement. However, since the discovery of NMO-IgG/antiaqaporin-4 antibody, the concept of NMO was broadened to NMO spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and brain lesions ar...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder Presenting with Pseudoathetosis
Dear Editor, Pseudoathetosis is a movement disorder that is characterized by involuntary, slow, and writhing movements. It can develop from lesions at all levels of proprioceptive sensory pathways, including the posterior column of the spinal cord, parietal cortex, thalamus, and peripheral nerves.1,2 Various conditions that involve the posterior column have been reported to cause spinal pseudoa...
