[The atypical ophthalmologic onset of acute Devic neuromyelitis].
A case of Devic's acute neuromyelitis with an atypical ophthalmic debut is presented. Usually, the Devic's neuromyelitis starts by concomitant alteration of both eyes. In the described case, the condition debut has been monocular (OD), as a juxtabulbar optic neuritis, after a respiratory viral infection. The neurological syndrome (paraplegia) and the acute renal failure appeared one week after the viral debut, the patient having been transferred to the neurology department, where, under cortisone treatment the ophthalmological phenomena disappeared completely, remaining only the neurological condition (tetraplegia).
