Abstract
Nöromiyelitis optika (NMO), optik sinirler ve spinal kordu hedef alan santral sinir sisteminin nadir görülen demiyelinizan hastalıklarından biridir. Tanısı, Wingerchuck kritelerine göre konulur. Biz de yedi yıl sonra çok sayıda optik nörit atağı geçirdikten sonra NMO tanısı alan 16 yaşında erkek bir hastayı sunduk. NMO; optik nörit ile başvuran olgularda akılda tutulması gereken bir tanıdır.

Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), is a rare demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that preferentially targets the optic nerves and the spinal cord. The diagnosis is made using Wingerchuck’s criteria. We report the case of a 16-yearold male patient who received an NMO diagnosis seven years later, after several attacks of optic neuritis. The NMO diagnosis should be kept in mind in patients presenting with optic neuritis

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
