Aquaporin-4 antibody positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder subsequent to rhabdomyolysis: a case report and literature review.

Rhabdomyolysis could be caused by various mechanisms including autoimmune reaction. Here, we reported a case of 76-year-old-woman diagnosed with aquaporin-4 (AQP4) IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) following rhabdomyolysis. After a review of literature, we propose that physical injury of skeletal muscle cells may lead to the production of AQP4 IgG and this AQP4 IgG might further decrease in the stability of skeletal muscle cells creating a positive feedback loop. HyperCKemia might be an inducement of NMOSD.
