Glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody-associated astrocytopathy presents isolated spinal cord enhancement: A case report
This case confirms that GFAP-A can be detected with positive spinal cord MRI findings alone, while negative brain MRI findings. Its key clinical significance lies in emphasizing the diagnostic value of CSF glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody detection for atypical cases, providing a new reference for the imaging spectrum of GFAP-A.
