- Abstract
- Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that is characterized by severe
episodes of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis. Aquaporin-4-specific autoantibody (NMO IgG) is the marker of NMO.
We report herein a 28-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that manifested with bilateral optic
neuritis. She had NMO IgG in addition to clinical and serologic characteristics of SLE. This is the first report of a patient
with SLE and NMO IgG that manifested with sequential bilateral optic neuritis. Key Words: Optic neuritis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Neuromyelitis optica
