2024年12月13日 · Neuromyelitis optica, also known as NMO, is a central nervous system disorder that causes inflammation in nerves of the eye and the spinal cord. NMO also is called neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and Devic disease. It occurs when the immune system reacts against the body's own cells.

2022年11月25日 · The condition’s original name, Devic’s disease, comes from Eugène Devic, the French neurologist who first described it. However, an international group of experts gave the condition its current name in 2015. This condition’s full, formal name is neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It's also called neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) or Devic's disease. NMO specifically affects the myelin, which is the insulation around the nerves.

2023年10月24日 · Neuromyelitis optica, or NMO, is also called neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and Devic disease. It is a disease that affects your eyes and spinal cord. It's not very common -- only...

What is Devic’s disease? Devic’s disease, also known as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder, is a rare neuro-immune disorder that affects your eyes and your spinal cord. It may also attack the brain.

2022年7月27日 · Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), also known as Devic disease, is a chronic disorder of the brain and spinal cord dominated by inflammation of the optic nerve (optic neuritis) and inflammation of the spinal cord (myelitis).

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that mainly affects the optic nerves and spinal cord. It is sometimes referred to as NMO spectrum disorder or NMOSD.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are a spectrum of autoimmune diseases characterized by acute inflammation of the optic nerve (optic neuritis, ON) and the spinal cord (myelitis). [1][2][3] Episodes of ON and myelitis can be simultaneous or successive. A relapsing disease course is common, especially in untreated patients. [1][4]

Devic's Disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the central nervous system (CNS), particularly targeting the optic nerves and spinal cord.

2023年4月21日 · Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), or Devic’s disease, is an inflammation of the sheath that protects the nerves in the eyes and the spinal cord. It can lead to weakness, eye pain, and temporary...
