Spectra of Neuromyelitis Optica

This handbook provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the Spectra of Neuromyelitis Optica, a group of rare inflammatory pathologies of the central nervous system. The book focuses on the fundamental distinction between the different serological entities (anti-AQP4, anti-MOG and seronegative), detailing their clinical, radiological and biological aspects.It explores pathophysiological mechanisms, presents the most recent diagnostic criteria and discusses essential differential diagnoses, notably with multiple sclerosis. The final, resolutely practical section is devoted to therapeutic management, covering both the treatment of acute relapses and disease-modifying strategies, from conventional options to modern biotherapies.Richly illustrated and referenced, this guide is an indispensable tool for neurologists, interns and medical students wishing to deepen their knowledge in this constantly evolving field.
