Symptoms of neuromyelitis optica

The age of onset ranged from 5 to 60 years. Most of the patients were 21-41 years old, and many of them were children. Acute transverse or disseminated myelitis and bilateral simultaneous or successive optic neuritis (on) are the characteristic manifestations of the disease. They occur continuously in a short period of time, leading to paraplegia and blindness. The disease progresses rapidly and may have remission recurrence.

The patients with acute onset of optic neuritis have partial or total loss of monocular vision within a few hours or days. Some patients have orbital pain one or two days before the loss of vision. Eye movement or pressing is obvious. Optic disc inflammation or retrobulbar optic neuritis can be seen in the fundus. The symptoms of subacute onset reached the peak within 1-2 months. A few patients had chronic onset, and the vision loss progressed steadily within a few months.

Acute transverse myelitis is an acute progressive inflammatory demyelinating lesion of the spinal cord. It has been confirmed that most of the lesions are MS, presenting as monophasic or chronic polyphase. Clinically, disseminated myelitis is common, with asymmetric and incomplete signs, rapid (hours or days) progressive paraplegia, bilateral Babinski sign, trunk sensory disturbance and sphincter dysfunction. Acute myelitis with Lhermitte's syndrome, paroxysmal tonic spasm and radicular pain can be seen in about 1 / 3 of the patients with recurrent type, but it is rarely seen in patients with monophasic course.
