Relevance. Devic’s myelitis optica (MO) is a rare autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system characterized by lesions of the optic nerves and spinal cord. Despite its similarity to multiple sclerosis, MO is distinguished by the presence of specific antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4-IgG), necessitating a unique approach to diagnosis and treatment. Purpose of the study. To examine the clinical course and assess the effectiveness of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods for Devic’s myelitis optica. Materials and methods. A 22-year-old female patient with MO was under our observation. A clinical case analylis was conducted for a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of MO. Diagnostic procedures included neuroimaging techniques (MRI of the brain and spinal cord), serological testing for AQP4 antibodies, and neurological status assessments. Results and conclusion. Patients with MO experienced acute episodes of optic neuritis and transverse myelitis, leading to significant vision loss and motor dysfunctions. Early diagnosis utilizing MRI and AQP4-IgG testing facilitated the prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, which contributed to a reduction in relapsefrequency and an improvement in overall prognosis.
