Abstract:
We describe a 43-year-old female whose manifestations fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of aquaporin-4 IgG negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). High titer of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody was detected in cerebrospinal fluid. In this case, some symptoms pertained to NMOSD and some to GFAP antibody-related disorders. The patient had a good response to corticosteroids.
