Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system characterized by optic neuritis and longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis. The clinical course can be either polyphasic (relapsing-remitting) or monophasic. The relapsing-remitting course is observed in more than 80% of NMO cases, and relapse generally occurs within 1 year in 60% of patients, and within 3 years in 90%. We report a rare case of long spontaneous remission in untreated NMO.
