Resumo

This case series highlights the diverse presentations of seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, including the absence of optic neuritis despite anti-aquaporin 4 antibody positivity. It emphasizes the importance of high index of suspicion, early neurologist referral for improved outcomes, the consequences of delayed referral, and the challenges and treatment potential in low-income countries with limited resources.
