  • Title: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder in a Pediatric Patient.
    Author: Willis E, Ramakrishnaiah R, Archer R.
    Journal: J Ark Med Soc; 2016 Aug; 113(2):34-35. PubMed ID: 30047629.
    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.
