Özet

Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory, demyelinating syndrome of the central nervous system (CNS) that predominantly affects the spinal cord and optic nerves. Since it was first described, new information about the pathophysiology gained momentum with the discovery of an antibody against Aquaporin-4, a water channel protein that is predominantly found in the astrocytes. In our study, we evaluated the clinical features of NMOSD and clinically related CNS disorders.
