Abstract
Brain MRI was originally considered to appear normal in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMO-SD). Typical brain lesions are now well described and have been integrated in the latest revision of NMO-SD criteria, but the NMO-SD MRI pattern remains not yet comprehensive. We report here extensive white matter lesions (EWML) mimicking leukodystrophy in a 50-year-old woman with long-lasting anti-AQP4+ NMO-SD. We suggest that EWML could be a possible brain MRI presentation of NMO-SD patients.Entities:
