Anti Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein associated Immunoglobulin G (AntiMOG-IgG)-associated Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder with Persistent Disease Activity and Residual Cognitive Impairment
Antibodies targeting myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) have been recently reported in association with idiopathic inflammatory central nervous system disorders. Initially believed to be a benign disorder, anti MOG-IgG was noted to cause steroid responsive recurrent optic neuritis and isolated longitudinally extensive myelitis. However, there is growing evidence that the disease may be p...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis Optica in Children: A Rare Entity
Neuromyelitis optica (also known as Devic's disease or Devic's syndrome) is an uncommon disorder in pediatric age group, and is characterized by acute or subacute optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Here we report an 11- year- old female child with relapsing Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) confirmed by positive NMO- IgG antibody and had clinical recovery with high dose methyl prednisolone t...
متن کاملOrbital Ectopic Lymphoid Follicles with Germinal Centers in Aquaporin-4-IgG-Positive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) are important autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) astrocytopathy causing acute myelitis, optic neuritis (ON), and encephalitis associated with significant morbidities and mortality. It is important to diagnose NMOSDs early as they are treatable. The majority of NMOSDs patients are seropositive for aquaporin-4 IgG (AQP4-IgG) autoantibodies, wh...
متن کاملSyringomyelia in patient with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: a case report
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disease characterized by longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) and optic neuritis. This article reported a case of a 58-year-old women initially presented with asymmetric tetraparesis and binocular vision diminution. MRI (full name please) showed the longitudinal syringomyelia from C3 to T1 ...
متن کاملAntibodies in acquired demyelinating disorders in children
The discovery that several demyelinating disorders in children may be associated with autoantibodies to astrocytes, myelin, and/or synaptic proteins has opened the possibility of their use as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The identification of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies as specific diagnostic markers of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) led to an expansion of the clinical spectrum of this d...
