Neuromyelitis Optica: An Antibody-Mediated Disorder of the Central Nervous System
Figure 1
An MRI showing a longitudinally extensive cervical spinal cord lesion in a patient with NMO. (a) T2 weighted sagittal MRI sequence shows T2-hyperintensity extending beyond 3 spinal cord levels. (b) T2-weighted axial sequence shows bilateral T2 hyperintensity in the central/dorsal cord. (c) T1-weighted sagittal sequence with gadolinium contrast shows enhancement in a significant portion of the lesion.
