    Lesions are localized at sites of high aquaporin-4 expression (white dots). Patient 1: around the 3rd ventricle and hypothalamus; patient 2: around the 4th ventricle; patient 3: around the 4th ventricle and aqueduct; patient 4: periependymal, around lateral ventricles, cervical lesion extends into the brainstem; patient 5: thalamus, hypothalamus, optic chiasm, around the 4th ventricle, subpial in cerebellar hemispheres; patient 6: around the 4th ventricle and cerebellar peduncles.
