Anti-MOG associated myelitis

Reversible paraspinal muscle hyperintensity in anti-MOG antibody–associated transverse myelitis

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G (anti-MOG-IgG) has been recently found to be associated with some forms of idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating CNS disorders. In a preliminary study from India, recurrent optic neuritis and isolated longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis were identified as the common phenotypes. The clinical and radiologic features of this newly disco...

Influenza-associated MOG antibody-positive longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis: a case report

BACKGROUND Myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG antibodies) was found in various demyelinated diseases. This is the first report of a patient with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis with an extremely high titer of MOG antibodies after an influenza infection. This case supports the view that MOG antibodies are linked to longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and that...

Extensive myelitis associated with anti-NMDA receptor antibodies

BACKGROUND Encephalitis with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies (anti-NMDAR-Ab) is a rapid-onset encephalitis including psychosis, seizures, various movement disorders and autonomic system disturbances. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very unusual case of extensive myelitis associated with anti-NMDAR-Ab. MRI also revealed a hyperintense T2 lesion, non-suggestive of MS, which progress...
