摘要：

Relapsing neuromyelitis optica is rare in children. The identification of a highly specific serum autoantibody marker (neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G) differentiates neuromyelitis optica from other demyelinating disorders, particularly in clinically challenging cases. We present a child with multiple episodes of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis with positive neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G titers, consistent with a diagnosis of relapsing neuromyelitis optica. Serial titers of neuromyelitis optica-immunoglobulin G normalized during remission. (C) 2008 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
