Abstract

Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized primarily by inflammation of the optic nerve, spinal cord, and brainstem. The identification of IgG antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4-IgG) has transformed the understanding and classification of the disease, distinguishing it from other inflammatory CNS disorders. However, some seronegative patients remain a subject of debate.
