- •
uLETM termed as transverse myelitis with lesions extending over ten or more vertebrae.
- •
uLETM consists of heterogeneous etiology, and is strongly associated with NMOSD.
- •
Area postrema lesion with intractable vomiting and hiccups may differentiate NMOSD.
- •
Other parameters might contribute to the predictors for NMOSD.
