| Description |
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy both result from an inflammatory reaction to astrocyte antigens. NMO is characterized by severe optic neuropathy, myelitis and area postrema syndrome, while GFAP astrocytopathy more commonly presents with meningitis, encephalopathy, disc edema, myelitis, tremor and ataxia (1-3). We report a patient with both GFAP and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies. |
