| Abstract |
Severe visual loss is seen in both multiple sclerosis-associated optic neuritis (ON) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-associated ON. NMO (aquaporin 4) antibodies have been reported to have diagnostic and prognostic value for visual and neurological outcomes of recurrent ON. We performed this study to investigate the frequency of NMO antibodies and its prognostic value for visual and neurological outcomes in Chinese patients with severe ON. |
