Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a pharmacological group increasingly used in Oncology and Hematology. These treatments can lead to autoimmune complications, with neurological conditions, especially central nervous system (CNS) involvement, being rare. We describe a case of seropositive neuromyelitis optica in a patient with locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated with Atezolizumab.
