[Abstract] Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of central nervous system (CNS) whose main characteristic is the compromise of the spinal cord and the optic nerves. Moreover, it can also affect the brain, leading to cognitive impairment. In recent years, many scholars have carried out clinical and neuroimaging studies on cognitive impairment of neuromyelitis optica. And multimodal MRI plays an important role in explaining the possible mechanism behind it. The purpose of this article is to review the recent MRI findings in cognitive impairment in NMO.
