POZO ALMANZA, Yasmani; MERIDA NINA, Mabel Cristina  and  LOPEZ OVANDO, Nicol. Neuromyelitis optica and systemic lupus erythematosus: clinical case. Gac Med Bol [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.1, pp.117-120.  Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 1012-2966.  https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v46i1.642.

Optic neuromyelitis (NMO) is a demyelinating disease of the Central Nervous System, with morbidity, high mortality, favorable response to immunosuppressive treatment and infrequent association to immunological diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. We report the case of a teenager with a diagnosis of Optic Neuromyelitis who presented Systemic Lupus Erythematosus during his evolution. Its evolution was adequate due to the favorable response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Keywords : systemic Lupus erythematosus; devic neuromielytis optica; optic neuritis.
