Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is characterized by transverse myelitis or optic neuritis with anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies. Concurrent peripheral neuropathy is rare in NMOSD. We present the case of a patient with NMOSD who was also affected with demyelinating neuropathy. Anti-aquaporin 4 antibodies or other undetermined humoral factors may have caused peripheral neuropathy. Further investigation of the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathy with NMOSD is needed.
