Article Synopsis
- Patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) often have antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4), making MRI monitoring critical for understanding the disease's progression.
- A retrospective study involved MRI data from 525 AQP4-IgG-seropositive NMOSD patients across 11 countries, focusing on the types and locations of lesions in the central nervous system.
- Results showed a high prevalence of hyperintense lesions in the brain and significant patterns of myelitis in the spinal cord, emphasizing the importance of MRI in tracking this condition.

Background: Non-sleep related apnea (NSA) has been observed in alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) but has yet to be characterized.
Goals: Investigate the following hypotheses: 1) AHC patients manifest NSA that is often severe. 2) NSA is usually triggered by precipitating events.
Background And Objectives: To evaluate the factors determining the final clinical phenotype after an initial isolated attack of optic neuritis (ON). ON could be an isolated event or the initial presentation of a chronic neuroimmunological condition.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients presenting to University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center for an initial, isolated attack of ON.
