Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a neuroinflammatory disease related to multiple sclerosis (MS). It affects young subjects and causes a lot of handicap without treatment. Thus, aggressive treatments are frequently introduced early in the life of patients and maintained over the long term. A long duration of treatment exposes to iatrogenism. Therapeutic de-escalation trials in MS or other autoimmune diseases show rebound phenomena. In the NMO, there are no published data on the tolerance of desescalations to guide such strategies.
