在高达60%的NMO患者中描述了异常的脑MRI。然而，白色物质T2高信号很少被观察到。我们报告的情况下，一个49岁的妇女与长期的视神经肌萎缩症（NMO）频谱障碍和弥漫性脑白色物质T2加权高信号。我们的病例表明，一些NMO患者可以逐步发展为广泛的脑受累。
Abnormal brain MRI has been described in up to 60% of patients with NMO patients. However, white matter T2 hyperintensities have been rarely observed. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with long-lasting neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder and diffuse cerebral white matter T2-weighted hyperintensities. Our case suggests that some NMO patients can progressively develop l extensive cerebral involvement.
