Severe relapses are common in neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Plasma exchanges (PE) were successfully used to treat acute demyelinating relapses resistant to corticosteroids. However, little is known about PE efficiency in NMO relapses, particularly in relation with the presence or not of specific antibodies. We here report two patients with NMO (one seropositive and one seronegative) with dramatic improvement after PE on both the optical and spinal involvement.
视神经脊髓炎（NMO）中严重复发很常见。血浆置换（PE）已成功用于治疗对皮质类固醇耐药的急性脱髓鞘性复发。然而，关于PE在NMO复发中的疗效知之甚少，尤其是与特定抗体的有无之间的关系。我们在此报告两名NMO患者（一名血清阳性，一名血清阴性），在进行PE治疗后，其眼部和脊髓病变均有显著改善。
