Initial MRI reveals typical brain or spinal cord T2 lesions consistent with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; however, subsequent imaging shows resolution or near-complete resolution of lesions and new brain or spinal cord lesions do not appear during the optic neuritis attacks.
In particular, acute optic neuritis requires brain MRI showing (1) normal findings or only nonspecific WM lesions, or (2) optic nerve MRI with a T2-hyperintense or T1-weighted gadolinium-enhancing lesion extending over half the optic nerve length or involving the optic chiasm.
