Abstract

Neuromyelitis optica in the pediatric population is rare. Patients present with acute neurological deficits predominantly involving the optic nerves and spinal cord, usually with a relapsing course. Clinical overlap between multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders can occur and must be ruled out as NMO requires a more aggressive treatment plan. We present a pediatric patent with NMO spectrum disorder in order to draw awareness to this potentially neurologi- cally devastating disease.

一名儿科患者的视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍。
小儿视神经脊髓炎是罕见的。患者表现为急性神经功能缺损,主要累及视神经和脊髓,通常有复发过程。多发性硬化症和其他自身免疫性疾病的临床重叠可能发生,必须排除,因为NMO需要更积极的治疗计划。我们提出一个小儿专利与NMO谱系障碍,以提请认识到这种潜在的神经破坏性疾病。
