Introduction: Brainstem, hypothalamic and cerebral symptoms may occur in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). However, pathologic yawning has not been previously described in NMOSD patients.
Patients And Methods: Nine AQP4-IgG seropositive NMOSD patients experienced excessive yawning not related to sleep deprivation or fatigue.
Objective: To present the Brazilian Neuromyelitis Optica Database System (NMO-DBr), a database system which collects, stores, retrieves, and analyzes information from patients with NMO and NMO-related disorders.
Method: NMO-DBr uses Flux, a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) for data management. We used information from medical records of patients with NMO spectrum disorders, and NMO variants, the latter defined by the presence of neurological symptoms associated with typical lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or aquaporin-4 antibody seropositivity.
