AQP4 + NMOSD disease is in fact a disease not a syndrome and is now named as such.
-NMO spectrum is now only the people who are antibody negative incomplete syndromes should be named as they present (recurrent ON, recurrent TM etc)

One difference from the broad understanding of last year's release... Paramagnetic rim lesions can only be used as secondary confirmation in people without DIS (people who need 2 forms of confirmation) they can not be used as the only confirmatory test in people who only need one confirmatory test
