We read with interest the article by Glasier et al,“Clinical, Neurodiagnostic, and MR Findings
in Children with Spinal and Brain Stem Multiple Sclerosis”(1). In this study, five of seven …

Neuromyelitis optica or Devic's syndrome is an uncommon demyelinating disorder that
preferentially attacks the spinal cord and optic nerves. Although it is well described in adults …

Neuromyelitis optica is one of the rarest forms of central nervous system demyelinating
disease. It is particularly infrequent in Western countries and complete recovery is rare. We …

A patient is presented with clinical signs and symptoms of neuromyelitis optica (Devic's
syndrome). The clinical findings, the cerebrospinal fluid findings and the Magnetic …

Neuromyelitis optica (or Devic's syndrome) is a demyelinating disorder characterized by
optic neuritis, usually bilateral and acute in onset, and by transverse myelopathy. Necropsy …

Objectives: To assess MRI and magnetization transfer (MT) imaging changes in the brain
and cervical cord from patients with Devic's neuromyelitis optica (DNO), and to compare …

We report the clinical, imaging, and laboratory features of 8 patients with Devic's
neuromyelitis optica. All patients had severe myelopathy and optic neuritis. In no patient was …

Objectives: To evaluate the spectrum of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), including
characteristics of the index events (optic neuritis [ON]) and myelitis), neuroimaging, CSF …

Relapsing Devic's neuromyelitis optica (DNO) may be clinically undistinguishable from
multiple sclerosis (MS), thus the differential diagnosis relies mainly on neuroimaging and …

OBJECTIVES: Since Devic's original description of neuromyelitis optica in 1894 there has
been much debate regarding its aetiology. A specific cause has been identified in a minority …
