Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD)

Case contributed by Utkarsh Kabra
Diagnosis certain

Presentation

Fever with sudden diminished vision.

Patient Data

Age: 2 years
Gender: Female

Multiple asymmetric cortical / subcortical white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintense lesions are seen in bilateral cerebral hemispheres extending to corpus callosum at places. Subtle hyperintensities are seen in bilateral medial thalami.

Thickening and hyperintensity of intraocular, intraorbital segments of both optic nerves is seen with sparing of intracanalicular, intracranial segments and optic chiasma, suggesting bilateral optic neuritis.

Laboratory investigations turned out to be positive for serum anti-MOG antibodies.

Case Discussion

Lack of involvement of optic chiasma, tracts and area postrema with history of fever favors the diagnosis of Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). Laboratory investigations turned out to be positive for serum anti-MOG antibodies.
