Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD)have been clearly separated from sclerosis multiplex (SM) as a distinctnosological entity based on clinical and paraclinical criteria, particularlyMRI and the presence of antibodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4). The capabilities ofMRI, together with serological testing for antibodies to AQP4 and myelinoligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), play an important role in the diagnosisand differential diagnosis of NMOSD from SM and MOGAD-myelin oligodendrocyteglycoprotein associated disease.

Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging spectrum neuromyelitis optica disorders,aquaporin-4 (AQP4), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)
