Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare disease, common in white females and rarely reported in males1. It is usually associated with recurrent demyelinating spectrum that is autoimmune in nature1.The diagnosis is usually confirmed by antibody biomarkers; however, they can be negative and lead to more dilemma in diagnosis. In addition, the prognosis and course of the disease varies in seronegative NMO from seropositive NMO2. Both populations get comparable care, with novel strategies being researched for patients with seronegative NMOs. A 18 Year old boy presented with gradual onset weakness in all four limbs with vision loss. His brain MRI also revealed changes suggesting optic neuritis. The patient met the criteria for diagnosis of NMO by having optic neuritis and myelitis by imaging studies with positive aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-Ab).
