A 21-year-old right-handed woman suffered cervical myelitis in 1971, followed by two episodes of bilateral optic neuritis and four relapses of thoracic or lumbar myelitis through 1998. Her initial brain MRI in 1989 revealed no abnormality, which met the MRI criteria for multiple sclerosis. In 2009, her serum anti-aquaporin-4 antibody was found to be positive, and a diagnosis of relapsing neuromyelitis optica (NMO) was made on the basis of current diagnostic criteria
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics, course, and prognosis of optic neuritis in recurrent neuromyelitis optica.
