De Santis G et al. - Neuromyelitis optica is associated with antibodies to aquaporin-4 channels and has been classically defined as the occurrence of bilateral optic neuritis and transverse myelitis with no other neurological involvement.

| According with recent progresses in neuromyelitis optica findings, this is an original report about a possible case of a paraneoplastic Devic's disease. So, actually, etiopathogenesis of Devic's disease is still debated. Starting from the consideration that neuromyelitis optica is retained to be strictly related to antibodies production (NMO-IgG), we describe herein a case where the paraneoplastic production of NMO-IgG might trigger the development of the disease. |
