(A) MRI brain T1 coronal post gadolinium contrast showing contrast enhancement of bilateral optic nerves and right optic nerve sheath consistent with perioptic neuritis. (B) MRI spine sagittal STIR showing longitudinal extensive patchy lesion spaning from cervical to thoracic cord. (C) MRI spine sagittal T2 showing hyperintense longitudinally extensive “pseudo-dilation” of central canal. (D) MRI spine sagittal T1 post gadolinium contrast showing patchy enhancement of the conus medullaris. (E) MRI brain axial FLAIR showing large subcortical and septal white matter lesions in a pediatric patient presenting with ADEM. (F) MRI brain axial T2 with hyperintense “H” sign outlining the central gray matter of the upper cervical cord in a teenager with myelitis. (G) MRI brain axial T2 with “fluffy” hyperintense lesion of gray and white matter of the left caudate and left occipital parietal regions in a pediatric patient who presenting with ADEM. (H) MRI brain axial T2 showing unilateral FLAIR hyperintensity and edema of right mesial frontal cortex in a patient with FLAMES syndrome. (I) MRI brain axial T1 post gadolinium contrast showing leptomeningeal enhancement of the midrain and right mesial temporal lobe. (J) MRI brain axial T1 post gadolinium contrast showing a lesion adjacent to the cerebellar vermis and dorsal medulla in a patient with brainstem syndrome and no other lesions.
