Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe inflammatory demyelinating disorder typically characterized
by attacks of recurrent optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. There were many cases that have not
fulfilled definite NMO criteria but most of them fall under neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
(NMOSD). Brain lesions in NMO typically follow the distribution of aquaporin 4 expression. Our case
also only presents these typical brain abnormality. So we report a case of NMOSD initially presented
with only typical brain abnormality showing anti-AQP4 seropositive.
