Typical spinal cord lesions on MRI in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD)
(A) Sagittal T2-weighted thoracic spine MRI shows a longitudinally extensive hyperintense lesion extending for four and a half vertebral segments (arrows). (B) Sagittal T2-weighted cervical spine MRI shows a short hyperintense lesion extending two vertebral segments and forming a sagittal line (arrow). (C) Sagittal T2-weighted thoracic spine MRI shows a short hyperintense lesion extending one vertebral segment and involving the conus (arrow). (D, E) The T2-hyperintensity is central on axial MRI sequences and highly confined to the gray matter, forming an H pattern (arrows).
