ABSTRACT
Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy is a curable autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Meninges, brain, spinal cord and optic nerve are mainly involved. Radial paraventricular enhancement and/or long segment lesions of spinal cord with central enhancement can be seen on magnetic resonance imaging. Brain biopsy shows perivascular inflammation with microglia activation. The disease is sensitive to steroid therapy. Glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody is considered as a specific biomarker of the disease.
