Patients diagnosed with anti-aquaporin 4 antibody positive Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder were confirmed based on diagnostic criteria. Patients who meet all inclusion criteria and do not conflict with the exclusion criteria will receive steroid plus therapy (1g/day for five consecutive days).
