Abstract:
Patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are unlikely to develop clinically silent lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), unlike patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We encountered a patient with NMO who showed radiological progression and leukodystrophy-like changes on MRI during a long-standing, clinically asymptomatic period.
