301. Pediatric NMOSD | Part II, Treatment & Symptom Management

Rebecca Whitney of SRNA was joined by Drs. Jayne Ness and Silvia Tenembaum for an ABCs of NMOSD podcast titled, “Pediatric NMOSD - Part II, Treatment and Symptom Management.” The experts began by explaining symptoms of pediatric NMOSD. They discussed acute and ongoing treatments, considerations (including vaccines), side-effects, and whether or not aquaporin-4 antibody levels are continuously monitored. The experts also compared and contrasted NMOSD and MOGAD in children. Finally, they provided information on long-term symptom management, repeated MRIs, and indications of a relapse that would require emergency medical care.
