This Case Study describes a 63-year-old woman with a history of metastatic breast cancer who presented with rapidly progressing myelopathic symptoms and an elevated titer for the neuromyelitis optic antibody. The appearance of myelopathy correlated with recurrence of the patient's breast cancer on two separate occasions, and the authors suggest this case represents a possible paraneoplastic syndrome associated with the neuromyelitis antibody.
