Abstract
RATIONALE Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease (MOGAD) is one of auto-immune demyelinating diseases of nervous system. Although both regional anesthesia and general anesthesia has been successfully performed in the patient with demyelinating diseases of nervous system, it has been controversial which one is better. PATIENT CONCERNS Forty-four male patient was admitted for arthroscopic elbow surgery due to limitation of range of motion. The patient was diagnosed as MOGAD with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis, and steroid was used to prevent and treat symptoms and signs. DIAGNOSIS He was diagnosed as MOGAD with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, 1 year ago. The patient complaint of dizziness, diplopia, nausea, vomiting, seizure, general weakness and so on when he was confirmed as MOGAD with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. The diagnosis of MOGAD was confirmed with positive anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) Immunoglobulin (Ig)G and negative anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) IgG in the blood. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES After steroid cover, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with remimazolam and remifentanil was established for the patients. Rocuronium was administered under monitoring of neuromuscular blockade, using train of 4 (TOF). The operation was performed without any event under right lateral decubitus position. The patient was uneventfully recovered from anesthesia. LESSONS The case report showed total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam and remifentanil under proper monitoring was successfully performed in the patient with MOGAD.

Abstract
Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system characterized by severe, antibody-mediated astrocyte loss with secondary demyelination and axonal damage, predominantly targeting optic nerves and the spinal cord. Recent publications have alluded to increased disease activity during pregnancy, and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in patients with NMOSD. Our objective was to systematically review published literature to help counsel and manage women with NMOSD contemplating pregnancy. Methods: We searched five databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE, for English-language publications describing pregnancies in women with NMOSD. Article selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment using Joanna Briggs' critical appraisal tool for case reports and case series, were performed in duplicate. Pooled incidences were calculated where possible, and a narrative summary was provided. Results: Of 2,118 identified titles, 22 case reports and seven case series, representing 595 pregnancies in 389 women, were included. The mean maternal age was 28.12 ± 5.19 years. At least 20% of cases were first diagnosed during pregnancy. There were no maternal deaths. Pooled estimates for clinical outcomes could not be obtained due to inadequate reporting. NMOSD-related disability and relapses increased considerably during pregnancy and especially in the immediate postpartum period. Although a high proportion of early pregnancy losses were reported, an association with disease activity or therapeutic interventions could not be established. Apart from one publication which reported an increased risk of preeclampsia, there was no increase in adverse obstetric outcomes including preterm birth, fetal growth restriction or congenital malformations. Initial attacks and relapses were successfully managed with oral or intravenous corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, and refractory cases with immunoglobulin, plasma exchange and immunoadsorption. Conclusion: Increased NMOSD-related disability and relapses during pregnancy the postpartum period may respond to aggressive management with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, which are safely administered during pregnancy and lactation. Emerging safety data on monoclonal antibodies during pregnancy, make these attractive options, while intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange and immunoadsorption can be safely used to treat severe relapses. The complex interplay between NMOSD and pregnancy outcomes would be best understood through prospective analysis of data collected through an international registry.

Abstract
We report the anaesthetic management of a patient with pre-existing NMOSD undergoing a caesarean delivery. Multidisciplinary collaboration and careful patient counselling were essential to optimize maternal and foetal outcomes. The use of neuromuscular monitoring and sugammadex reversal might play an important role in anesthetic management of patients with NMOSD.
Introduction Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare demyelinating disorder affecting the spinal cord and optic nerves. The anesthetic management in parturient women with NMOSD are controversial and remains challenging. Presentation of case A 35-year-old G2P1 woman at 36 weeks of gestation with NMOSD presented for pre-anesthesia assessment prior to caesarean section. Her NMOSD had been diagnosed four years previously and was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) and plasma exchange (PLEX). She underwent general anesthesia without developing adverse respiratory events or signs and symptoms of muscle weakness. Discussion Both neuraxial and general anaesthesia for NMOSD have been described in previous case reports. Risk factors of general anesthesia in pregnancy with NMOSD must be weighed against the likely risk of NMOSD relapse and the potential deteriorating neurological symptoms after neuraxial anesthesia. Conclusion A multidisciplinary collaboration together with careful anesthetic consideration is required for the anesthetic and perioperative management of these patients.

Epidural Labor Analgesia for a Patient with Neuromyelitis Optica: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. Case Rep Anesthesiol 2018; 2018:2404756.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare demyelinating disorder affecting the spinal cord and optic nerves. Like multiple sclerosis (MS), it predominantly affects women during childbearing years. The impact of neuraxial anesthesia on the course of NMO is uncertain. There are no large studies available to draw definitive conclusions regarding the safety of neuraxial anesthesia in this population. A review of the current literature suggests that neuraxial anesthesia is unlikely to exacerbate neurologic symptoms in pregnant patients with NMO. However, given the rarity of this disease entity among patients requesting epidural labor analgesia, we recommend taking a cautious approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Current guidelines for neuraxial analgesia in patients with multiple sclerosis are ambiguous and offer the clinician only a limited basis for decision making. This systematic review examines the number of cases in which multiple sclerosis has been exacerbated after central neuraxial analgesia in order to rationally evaluate the safety of these procedures. METHODS A systematic literature search with the keywords "anesthesia or analgesia" and "epidural, peridural, caudal, spinal, subarachnoid or intrathecal" in combination with "multiple sclerosis" was performed in the databases PubMed and Embase, looking for clinical data on the effect of central neuraxial analgesia on the course of multiple sclerosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Over a period of 65 years, our search resulted in 37 reports with a total of 231 patients. In 10 patients multiple sclerosis was worsened and nine multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica was first diagnosed in a timely context with central neuraxial analgesia. None of the cases showed a clear relation between cause and effect. Current clinical evidence does not support the theory that central neuraxial analgesia negatively affects the course of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and the associated NMO spectrum disorders are demyelinating disorders affecting the spinal cord and optic nerves. It has prominent female predominance and many of these patients are in their childbearing years. As pregnancy seems to have a major impact on this disease course, in this review, recent studies with a focus on this disease and pregnancy and safety of available treatment options during this period are discussed.
