RTX, Rituximab. IVIG, intravenous immunoglobulin. HCQ, Hydroxychloroquine. Met, Methotrexate. AZA, azathioprine. BS, brainstem. CS, oral corticosteroids. EDSS, Expanded disability status scale score. LETM, longitudinally extensive myelitis. NMO, neuromyelitis optica. NMOSD, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. OCB, oligoclonal bands. ON, optic neuritis. MS, multiple sclerosis. ADEM, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Severe visual disability was defined as visual acuity of 0.1 or less in one or both eyes at last follow-up.
