Acta RadiologicaSanchez-Catasus CA, Cabrera-Gomez J, Almaguer MW, Bosch BJ, Rodriguez RR, Valdes-Sosa P. The number of optic neuritis attacks is a potential confounder when comparing patients with NMO vs. controls by voxel-based neuroimaging analysis. Acta Radiol. 2016 Aug;57(8):985- 91....
The final clinical diagnosis after follow-up was 16 NMO, 12 MS, 11 transverse myelitis (TM) and seven recurrent optic neuritis (RON). NMO-IgG was detected in 62.5% of NMO, 50% of the recurrent longitudinally extensive TM, 14.3% of the RON but in none of the MS patients. The authors...
At the end of the 3-year follow-up, two patients developed MS; one NMO-IgG antibodies in transverse myelitis S Ravaglia et al developed optic neuritis, and two developed bilateral delay on VEPs, and were classified as NMO (these three patients had negative NMO-IgG); three patients became ...
NMOSD is a relapsing, inflammatory, autoimmune disorder (Papp et al., 2018) characterized in large part by attacks of optic neuritis (ON) and transverse myelitis (TM) causing blindness and paresis in many patients (Mealy et al., 2019, Wingerchuk et al., 1999, Wingerchuk et al., 2007)...
To assess (i) the frequency of MOG-IgG in a large and predominantly Caucasian cohort of patients with optic neuritis (ON) and/or myelitis; (ii) the frequency of MOG-IgG among AQP4-IgG-positive patients and vice versa; (iii) the origin and frequency of MOG-IgG in the cerebrospinal fluid...
The distinction between typical acute demyelinating optic neuritis (ON), as may occur during the course of multiple sclerosis (MS), and ON in the setting of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a challenge frequently faced by neuro-ophthalmologists. The separation of these 2 forms of ON is important ...
A previous study suggests that the number of optic neuritis (ON) attacks may be a confounding factor when comparing NMO patients with controls if it is not taken into account during VBM analysis.To investigate the potential confounding effect of the number of ON attacks, for both tissue volumes...
NMO- IgG/ AQP4-Ab seropositive status has also important prognostic and therapeutic implications in patients with isolated longitudinally extensive myelitis ( LETM) or optic neuritis ( ON). In this article, we comprehensively review and critically appraise the existing literature on NM...
