We present a case report of newly diagnosed neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with associated myocarditis and diffuse oedema of the pelvic and anterior compartment thigh muscles on magnetic resonance imaging. Aquaporin 4 antibodies are expressed in skeletal myofibres but involvement of skeletal muscle is rarely reported in NMOSD and myocarditis has not previously been described in this context. This case highlights the need for further research into the involvement of cardiac and skeletal muscle in NMOSD.

The term Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a recently proposed for neuromyelitis optica and related syndromes. Along with serum anti-aquaporin 4 antibody status, detection of a lesions extending over ≥3 contiguous spinal cord segments (longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis, LETM) associated with acute myelitis is the most specific neuroimaging characteristic of NMOSD. 1 We present a case of NMOSD with delayed lesion on spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging.
