Sumario:Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is an inflammatory autoimmune condition, predominantly affecting the optic nerves and spinal cord. It has been stated that viral infections play a role in the development of neuromyelitis optica. Several murine coronaviruses can cause inflammatory demyelinating diseases, including optic neuritis. Here we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first human case linking a presumed SARS-CoV-2 infection to the development of NMOSD.
