Identification and measurement of cervical spinal cord atrophy in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and correlation with clinical characteristics and cervical spinal cord MRI data.

CONCLUSION: This study provides the first evidence of cervical spinal cord atrophy in NMOSD by studying the entire cervical spinal cord. Upper cervical spinal cord atrophy was substantially correlated to clinical disability and seems more involved in the development of clinical disability in NMOSD patients in comparison to the lower cervical spinal cord.
