Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) can present with various movement disorders (MD), most commonly tonic spasms and ataxia. Understanding these MDs aids in identifying NMOSD and improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neuroimmunology
- Movement Disorders
Background:
- Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is associated with several movement disorders (MD).
- Previous reviews have not comprehensively covered the spectrum of MD in NMOSD.
Conclusions:
- NMOSD exhibits a diverse range of movement disorders with varying frequencies.
- Recognizing MDs in NMOSD can facilitate earlier diagnosis.
- This understanding may lead to improved management and outcomes for NMOSD patients presenting with MD.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
01:26Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
