| Description |
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory, demyelinating CNS disorder characterized by concurrence of optic neuritis with longitudinally extensive myelitis with a highly sensitive &specific biomarker AQP4 -IgG antibody. NMO has been previously reported with HIV infection. Here we describe a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) who presented with acute myelopathy and sequential optic neuritis and subsequently was diagnosed with NMO. |
