Devic's neuromyelitis optica: A clinicopathological study of 8 patients
Abstract
We report the clinical, imaging, and laboratory features of 8 patients with Devic's neuromyelitis optica. All patients had severe myelopathy and optic neuritis. In no patient was the brain, the brainstem, or the cerebellum affected, even after several years of disease. Various immunosuppressive treatments failed to benefit the patients, 5 of whom died. Autopsies of these 5 patients demonstrated a severe necrotizing myelopathy with thickening of blood vessel walls and no lymphocyte infiltrates. In the appropriate clinical setting, the lack of white matter abnormalities demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging of the head facilitates the recognition of Devic's syndrome during life. Inasmuch as Devic's myelopathy is necrotizing, rather thatn demyelinating, the prognosis of this syndrome is poor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
