Abstract: A 48-year-old man was admitted to Tomakomai City Hospital, Tomakomai, Japan, because of intractable hiccups and nausea, and orthostatic hypotension. Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings showed a dorsal medullary lesion. Respiratory failure occurred, and he underwent tracheotomy and mechanical ventilation when magnetic resonance imaging showed subarachnoid hemorrhage in addition to enlarged medullary lesions. Serum anti-aquaporin-4 antibody was positive and the cerebrospinal fluid was bloody. We diagnosed meuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders complicating subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was treated with a steroid. Although extensive white matter lesions occurred transiently, the patient was discharged from the hospital when he became able to walk with the use of the walker on the 52nd day. We suggest that the subarachnoid hemorrhage and transient white matter lesions were associated with vascular damage associated with the meuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.
