Description Venezuela exhibits the highest frequency of NMO cases (43.3%) in South America. NMOSD has unique characteristics that could distinguish it from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Optical coherence tomography is a useful tool that qualitatively and quantitatively measures the changes of the peripapillary RNFL optic nerve and axon lossTo first describe and characterize changes of the peripapillary RNFL in a relapsing, NMOSD Venezuelan population.
