Abstract

BACKGROUND: The choroid plexus (CP) is closely linked to inflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS). While the CP volume is enlarged in MS compared with healthy controls (HC), no such changes are observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a disease with similar clinical and imaging features to MS. It remains unclear whether the CP plays a similar role in NMOSD as in MS.
