Abstract
- Neuromyelitis optica(Devie's disease) is a demyelinating disorder of unknown etiology that is characterized by bilateral acute optic neuritis, associated with transverse myelitis. The authors experienced a case of Neuromyelitis optica in a 28 year old female who developed acute visual disturbance, sensory loss under the thoracic dermatome 8, and paraplegia, shortly after upper respiratory infection. Bilateral acute optic neuritis was noted with abnormal visually evoked potential. We confirmed this case by neurologic features, magnetic resonance imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid finding, and treated with Corticosteroid "pulse therapy".
