Devic's neuromyelitis optica was orginally described as an acute severe monophasic syndrome characterised by myelitis and optic neuritis. The mean age at onset was reported to be around 40 years, with a wide range. However, Devic's neuromyelitis optica has also been seen in children. Prognosis of the syndrome was poor, and no satisfactory treatment was known. This article reports a 23-month-old boy with acute myelitis and optic neuritis who was diagnosed with Devic's neuromyelitis optica. The response of the patient to therapy was poor, and he developed severe sequelae.

Key Words: Devic's neuromyelitis optica
