Introduction:
Considered for a long time as a form of multiple sclerosis, Devic’s
optic neuromyelitis also called Neuromyeliti Optica (NMO) is a rare
anatomo-clinical entity that involves optic pathways and spinal cords
without important brain injuries. NMO is an inflammatory demyelinating
disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Its association to
pulmonary tuberculosis is even rarer and has only been reported a few
times.
