ABSTRACT
•We herein present a case of chronic progressive autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy.•Symmetrical high-intensity signals on FLAIR were observed in the white matter of the temporal and occipital lobes, lateral cerebral ventricle walls, hippocampus, amygdala, and occipital cortex, with extensive Gd enhancement in radial perivascular lesions and the ependyma in the choroid plexus.•Improvements were achieved by 4 courses of IVMP and one of IVIg.
