A Clinical Case of MOGAD

Background

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a demyelinating inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by the presence of anti-MOG antibodies and a core clinical demyelinating event such as optic neuritis or transverse myelitis. The clinical spectrum of this disease includes optic neuritis, transverse myelitis encephalopathy, and seizures. Optic neuritis is the most frequent presentation at time of diagnosis. The disease can be relapsing/remitting [1]. It can start in all age groups, but the average age is 30 years old [2].
