Serum anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder presenting as acute eosinophilic encephalomyelitis.
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience : Official Journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia 2018 Februrary
We report the case of a 57-year-old man with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) presenting as acute eosinophilic encephalomyelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed central nervous system lesions typical of NMOSD and anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies in the serum were identified; however, eosinophilia was evident in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the early stage of the disease. The number of eosinophils in the CSF decreased subsequently. Although activation of eosinophils is known to be an important factor in the development of NMOSD lesions, prominent eosinophilia in the CSF at the early stage of the disease has never been reported in patients with NMOSD.
