Paroxysmal painful tonic spasms in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
Background
Recently, an association between painful tonic spasms (PTS) and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) was established.
Objective
To describe the clinical characteristics of PTS in NMOSD based on a video recording and to provide a literature review on the topic.
Methods
We report a case of a 38 years-old woman with a diagnosis of NMOSD and positive aquaporin-4 IgG antibody status who developed PTS five weeks after an episode of longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM).
Results
Repetitive, brief, and painful episodes of muscle contraction were observed on the patient's left hand, spreading to the left arm, and then extending to the four limbs. While pregabalin and topiramate had no influence on these episodes, the patient responded to carbamazepine (CBZ), without symptom recurrence after one year.
Conclusions
PTS in association with LETM can be considered typical for NMOSD. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, ephaptic transmission after spinal cord damage and excitatory soluble factors released during acute inflammation responses are sought to be involved. Symptomatic treatment with CBZ achieved remission of spams in our case.
期刊介绍：
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
