Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is associated with other autoimmune disorders and probably with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) as well. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old girl presenting with typical NMOSD together with radiological evidence of COP. Our case is unique as the previous two reports of this association were in elderly patients.
There probably is an association between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).In contrast to previously published reports describing NMOSD and COP in two elderly patients, our case report highlights the fact that this disease combination can be present in young patients as well.
视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)与其他自身免疫性疾病有关,可能也与隐源性机化性肺炎(COP)有关。在此,我们报告一例14岁女孩,她患有典型的NMOSD,并有COP的影像学证据。我们的病例很独特,因为此前关于这种关联的两份报告均为老年患者。
视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)与隐源性机化性肺炎(COP)之间可能存在关联。与之前发表的关于两名老年患者的NMOSD和COP的报告不同,我们的病例报告突出了这样一个事实,即这种疾病组合在年轻患者中也可能存在。
