| Description |
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy is a newly discovered antibody-mediated autoimmune encephalitis in which autoantibodies against GFAP cause a range of central nervous system (CNS) symptoms, potentially mimicking diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). GFAP astrocytopathy was discovered less than a year ago and here we present two cases of GFAP astrocytopathy which mimicked NMOSD. |
