Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a distinct CNS demyelinating disease. The rate of asymptomatic optic nerve enhancement on MRI has not been explored in patients with MOGAD. An improved understanding of this would guide clinical practice and assessment of treatment efficacy. We aimed to determine the frequency of asymptomatic optic nerve enhancement in MOGAD. METHODS This was a retrospective review of patients evaluated at Mayo Clinic with MOGAD between January 1, 2000, and August 1, 2021 (median follow-up 1.6 [range 1-19] years). MRI studies were reviewed by masked neuroradiologists. Scans performed within 30 days of ON attack were classified as attack scans. Images obtained for routine surveillance, before ON attack, or at the time of non-ON attack were classified as interattack scans. RESULTS Five hundred sixty-six MRIs (203 unique patients, 53% female) were included. Interattack MRIs represented 341 (60%) of the scans (median 36 days post-ON [range -1,032 to 6,001]). Of the interattack scans, 43 of 341 (13%), 30 unique patients, showed optic nerve enhancement. The enhancement was located at prior sites of ON in 35 of 43 (81%). Among the 8 patients with enhancement in new optic nerve areas, 6 had acute disseminated encephalomyelitis without an eye examination at the time of the MRI and 2 had preceding ON without imaging. Long-term visual outcomes showed no significant difference between those with and without asymptomatic enhancement, with improved visual acuity in most patients. DISCUSSION Asymptomatic optic nerve enhancement occurred in 13% of interattack MRIs, the majority in patients with prior ON and occurring at prior sites of optic nerve enhancement. New asymptomatic optic nerve enhancement in areas without prior ON was rare. These findings are important for understanding the natural history of MOGAD, the interpretation of symptoms or response to treatment, and the adjudication of attacks in clinical trials.

Retinal Changes in Double-Antibody Seronegative Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders. NEUROLOGY(R) NEUROIMMUNOLOGY & NEUROINFLAMMATION 2024; 11:e200273. [PMID: 38941573 PMCID: PMC11214151 DOI: 10.1212/nxi.0000000000200273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To systematically describe the clinical picture of double-antibody seronegative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (DN-NMOSD) with specific emphasis on retinal involvement. METHODS Cross-sectional data of 25 people with DN-NMOSD (48 eyes) with and without a history of optic neuritis (ON) were included in this study along with data from 25 people with aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD, 46 eyes) and from 25 healthy controls (HCs, 49 eyes) for comparison. All groups were matched for age and sex and included from the collaborative retrospective study of retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) in neuromyelitis optica (CROCTINO). Participants underwent OCT with central postprocessing and local neurologic examination and antibody testing. Retinal neurodegeneration was quantified as peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFL) and combined ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer thickness (GCIPL). RESULTS This DN-NMOSD cohort had a history of [median (inter-quartile range)] 6 (5; 9) attacks within their 5 ± 4 years since onset. Myelitis and ON were the most common attack types. In DN-NMOSD eyes after ON, pRNFL (p < 0.001) and GCIPL (p = 0.023) were thinner compared with eyes of HCs. Even after only one ON episode, DN-NMOSD eyes already had considerable neuroaxonal loss compared with HCs. In DN-NMOSD eyes without a history of ON, pRNFL (p = 0.027) and GCIPL (p = 0.022) were also reduced compared with eyes of HCs. However, there was no difference in pRNFL and GCIPL between DN-NMOSD and AQP4-NMOSD for the whole group and for subsets with a history of ON and without a history of ON-as well as between variances of retinal layer thicknesses. DISCUSSION DN-NMOSD is characterized by severe retinal damage after ON and attack-independent retinal neurodegeneration. Most of the damage occurs during the first ON episode, which highlights the need for better diagnostic markers in DN-NMOSD to facilitate an earlier diagnosis as well as for effective and early treatments. In this study, people with DN-NMOSD presented with homogeneous clinical and imaging findings potentially suggesting a common retinal pathology in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Because myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a recently identified autoimmune disorder, the natural history of MOGAD is still not well described. The objective of this study was to describe the long-term outcomes of adult patients with MOGAD. In addition, we aimed to identify factors affecting relapse risk and neurologic outcomes. METHODS Clinical and biological data were obtained from patients with a first event of MOGAD and included in the French nationwide incident cohort between February 2014 and March 2017. Only patients aged 18 years or older at disease onset and with observation period of at least 3 months were included. Data were collected prospectively until July 2023 and registered in the dedicated French nationwide database. This form includes every relapse with phenotype description during follow-up, date of last assessment, final clinical outcome with Expanded Disability Status Scale score and visual acuity, and maintenance therapy. The probability of recurrence-free survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS We included 128 patients. The onset phenotype was isolated optic neuritis in 81 patients (63.3%) and isolated myelitis in 25 patients (19.5%). The median follow-up duration was 77.8 months (range 3.2-111.2), with 49 patients (38.3%) experienced at least one relapse. Median times from onset to second and third attacks were 3.2 (1.0-86.2) and 13.0 (2.6-64.4) months, respectively. At the last assessment, Expanded Disability Status Scale Score was ≥3 and ≥6 in 22 (17.2%) and 6 (4.7%) patients, respectively. Eighty patients received at least one maintenance treatment. This treatment was initiated after the first attack in 47 patients (36.7% of the whole cohort) and at the time of a second attack in 25 (19.5%). Multivariate analysis revealed that initiating maintenance treatment after the first attack was associated with a lower relapse risk (OR = 0.26 [95% CI 0.11-0.62], p = 0.002). In patients receiving maintenance therapy after first attack, the 2-year, 4-year, 6-year, and 8-year relapse risks were 11%, 15%, 20%, and 20%, respectively. In other patients, the risks were 41%, 46%, 51%, and 56%. DISCUSSION The highest risk of a relapse in MOGAD occurs early, and initiating maintenance therapy from the first attack substantially reduced the relapse risk. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that initiating maintenance therapy from the first attack in patients with MOGAD reduces the relapse risk.

Abstract
RATIONALE Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-related disease is a relatively recent entity in inflammatory demyelinating disease. Its clinical presentation varies in severity and the lack of specific imaging features makes it easy to misdiagnose. We now report the case of a MOG antibody-positive patient who presented with diplopia and dizziness, and whose brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signals in the bilateral pontine brachium. PATIENT CONCERNS A previously healthy 52-year-old woman presented with diplopia and dizziness, and was hospitalized 4 days after onset. DIAGNOSES Brain MRI demonstrated abnormal hyperintense signals in the bilateral pontine brachium on T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging. MRI enhancement showed abnormal enhancement foci in bilateral pontine brachium and pons. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed Oligoclonal IgG bands were negative. The IgG index was normal, and serum aquaporin-4 antibody was negative, while serum MOG-Ab was positive (1:100). In conjunction with a positive serum MOG antibody and exclusion of other diseases, diagnosis of MOG antibody-related disease was made. INTERVENTIONS Intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral corticosteroids. OUTCOMES Symptoms resolved completely. At 4-month follow-up. Follow-up after 4 months showed disappearance of the abnormal signal in the left pontine brachium and diminution of abnormal high signal in the right compared to the previous one, and there was no recurrence 1 year after the onset of the disease. LESSONS If brain MRI indicating bilateral, multiple, and diffuse abnormal signals in the pontine brachium, and a discrepancy between the clinical symptoms and the imaging severity, a diagnosis of demyelinating disease should be considered highly probable. In such cases, anti-MOG antibody testing is essential for further defining the etiology. The clinical phenotype and imaging manifestations of MOG antibody-positive brainstem encephalitis may lack sufficient specificity to be readily identifiable. Timely diagnosis and early glucocorticoid therapy are beneficial in improving prognosis and preventing recurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) is a distinct neuroinflammatory condition characterized by attacks of optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and other demyelinating events. Though it can mimic multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, distinct clinical and radiologic features which can discriminate these conditions are now recognized. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of MOGAD. RECENT FINDINGS Studies have identified subtleties of common clinical attacks and identified more rare phenotypes, including cerebral cortical encephalitis, which have broadened our understanding of the clinicoradiologic spectrum of MOGAD and culminated in the recent publication of proposed diagnostic criteria with a familiar construction to those diagnosing other neuroinflammatory conditions. These criteria, in combination with advances in antibody testing, should simultaneously lead to wider recognition and reduced incidence of misdiagnosis. In addition, recent observational studies have raised new questions about when to treat MOGAD chronically, and with which agent. MOGAD pathophysiology informs some of the relatively unique clinical and radiologic features which have come to define this condition, and similarly has implications for diagnosis and management. Further prospective studies and the first clinical trials of therapeutic options will answer several remaining questions about the peculiarities of this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent international consensus panel proposed diagnostic criteria for optic neuritis and a new classification. We aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of these diagnostic criteria and classification, in a cohort of patients hospitalized for a suspected diagnosis of optic neuritis. METHODS We included all patients hospitalized between 2017 and 2022 in our tertiary center for (sub)acute loss of visual acuity suggestive of optic neuritis. Clinical and paraclinical criteria obtained within the first 3 months of symptoms were collected, as well as the final diagnosis which could be optic neuritis or non-optic neuritis. We constructed a contingency table comparing diagnoses based on physician experience to those based on the recently proposed criteria. The subtypes of optic neuritis based on the new classification were compared to subtypes based on the clinician experience. RESULTS Two hundred fifty-seven patients were included in this study. Prevalence of optic neuritis in our cohort was 88.3%. Sensitivity and specificity of a correct diagnosis using the new criteria were, respectively, 99.5% and 86.7%. The proposed diagnostic criteria overdiagnosed four patients with optic neuritis and missed the diagnosis in one patient. According to the recent classification, idiopathic optic neuritis and clinical isolated syndrome were reclassified mainly as single isolated optic neuritis. CONCLUSION In our specific cohort of patients hospitalized for acute and subacute optic neuropathy highly suspect of optic neuritis, we found that recently proposed diagnostic criteria and classification of optic neuritis are relevant for our clinical practice. Our interpretation of clinical requirement for definite and possible optic neuritis diagnosis might explain our excellent sensitivity and our high percentage of definite optic neuritis, relative to previous publications. The moderate specificity (86.7%) underlines the importance to include all contextual data in consideration for the diagnosis. The simplification of subgroups is useful, but our study highlights the complexity to find the adequate subgroup for seronegative NMOSD.

Abstract
The use of neuroimaging allows the ophthalmologist to identify structural lesions in the orbit or along the neuroaxis that allow for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with neuro-ophthalmic diseases. The primary imaging tools include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both of which can be used to evaluate the brain, spinal cord and canal, and orbits. Neurovascular structures, both arterial and venous, also can be imaged in high resolution with modern CT and MR angiography and CT and MR venography. In many cases, invasive procedures such as catheter angiography can be avoided with these studies, and angiography is often reserved for confirmation of vascular lesions combined with endovascular treatment. In this article, we illustrate how the evaluation of patients presenting with neuro-ophthalmic diseases involving the afferent and efferent visual pathways can be optimized with the use of appropriate diagnostic imaging studies. The complementary value of ophthalmic imaging is also demonstrated, and the advantages and disadvantages of both CT and MRI as well as their use in longitudinal patient follow up is demonstrated.

Abstract
The diagnostic workup of multiple sclerosis (MS) has evolved considerably. The 2017 revision of the McDonald criteria shows high sensitivity and accuracy in predicting clinically definite MS in patients with a typical clinically isolated syndrome and allows an earlier MS diagnosis. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin G-associated disease (MOGAD) are recognized as separate conditions from MS, with specific diagnostic criteria. New MR imaging markers may improve diagnostic specificity for these conditions, thus reducing the risk of misdiagnosis. This study summarizes the most recent updates regarding the application of MR imaging for the diagnosis of MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD.

Abstract
Optic neuritis is a common feature in multiple sclerosis and in 2 other autoimmune demyelinating disorders such as aquaporin-4 IgG antibody-associated neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Although serologic testing is critical for differentiating these different autoimmune-mediated disorders, MR imaging, which is the preferred imaging modality for assessing the optic nerve, can provide valuable information, suggesting a specific diagnosis and guiding the appropriate serologic testing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a recently identified demyelinating disorder with a diverse clinical spectrum. Diagnosing MOGAD traditionally relies on clinical judgment, highlighting the necessity for precise diagnostic criteria. Banwell et al. proposed criteria, aiming to refine the diagnostic spectrum. This study evaluates these criteria in a real-life cohort, comparing their performance with clinical judgment and describe the cohort of MOGAD patients. METHODS This retrospective study, conducted at Hadassah Medical Center, included 88 patients with MOG-IgG antibodies. Patients with a positive or borderline MOG-IgG antibodies by cell-based assay were included. Demographics, clinical and MRI data were recorded. Cases were divided into definite MOGAD and Non-MOGAD groups as determined by the treating physician. We assessed the sensitivity and specificity of the new criteria in comparison to treating physicians' evaluations. Additionally, we examined clinical differences between the MOGAD and Non-MOGAD groups. RESULTS We observed a strong concordance (98%) between the new MOGAD criteria and treating physicians' diagnoses. Clinical disparities between MOGAD and Non-MOGAD groups included lower EDSS scores, normal MRI scans, preserved brain volume, negative OCB results, and distinct relapse patterns. Also, compared to relapsing patients, monophasic MOGAD patients have greater brain volume and a lower age at onset. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates robust accuracy of new MOGAD criteria, emphasizing their potential to enhance diagnostic precision. Treatment response integration into the MOGAD diagnosis is crucial, as it could aid in distinguishing MOGAD from other demyelinating disorders. Distinct clinical profiles highlight the importance of informed decisions in managing MOGAD and similar disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD (AQP4-NMOSD), MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and seronegative NMOSD (SN-NMOSD) are neuroautoimmune conditions that have overlapping clinical manifestations. Yet, important differences exist in these diseases, particularly in B-cell depletion (BCD) efficacy. Yet, the biology driving these differences remains unclear. Our study aims to clarify biological pathways distinguishing these diseases beyond autoantibodies and investigate variable BCD effects through proteomic comparisons. METHODS In a retrospective study, 1,463 serum proteins were measured in 53 AQP4-NMOSD, 25 MOGAD, 18 SN-NMOSD, and 49 healthy individuals. To identify disease subtype-associated signatures, we examined serum proteins in patients without anti-CD20 B-cell depletion (NoBCD). We then assessed the effect of BCD treatment within each subtype by comparing proteins between BCD-treated and NoBCD-treated patients. RESULTS In NoBCD-treated patients, serum profiles distinguished the 3 diseases. AQP4-NMOSD showed elevated type I interferon-induced chemokines (CXCL9 and CXCL10) and TFH chemokine (CXCL13). MOGAD exhibited increased cytotoxic T-cell proteases (granzyme B and granzyme H), while SN-NMOSD displayed elevated Wnt inhibitory factor 1, a marker for nerve injury. Across all subtypes, BCD-treated patients showed reduction of B-cell-associated proteins. In AQP4-NMOSD, BCD led to a decrease in several inflammatory pathways, including IL-17 signaling, cytokine storm, and macrophage activation. By contrast, BCD elevated these pathways in patients with MOGAD. BCD had no effect on these pathways in SN-NMOSD. DISCUSSION Proteomic profiles show unique biological pathways that distinguish AQP4-NMOSD, MOGAD, or SN-NMOSD. Furthermore, BCD uniquely affects inflammatory pathways in each disease type, providing an explanation for the disparate therapeutic response in AQP4-NMOSD and MOGAD.

Timing of immunotherapeutic strategies for first-episode Isolated Anti-Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein-IgG Associated Optic Neuritis: A single-centre retrospective study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33263. [PMID: 39022043 PMCID: PMC11253057 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is no consensus on the timing of immunotherapeutic strategies for the first-episode anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG (MOG-IgG) associated disorders (MOGAD) presenting with isolated optic neuritis (ON). Objective To investigate the optimal timing of intravenous methylprednisolone therapy (IVMP) and necessity of immunosuppressive therapy for the first-episode isolated MOG-IgG associated ON (iMOG-ON). Methods Adult patients with the first-episode iMOG-ON were enrolled. Primary outcomes were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at last follow-up (i.e. final BCVA) and relapse, and their predictors were assessed by multivariate analysis. Results 62 patients were included. Logistic regression analysis revealed BCVA at the time of IVMP (odds ratio: 0.463 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.310-0.714) was a factor predictive of regaining a final BCVA of 0.0 logMAR vision, and its Youden optimal criterion was <0.175 logMAR by plotting the receiver operating characteristic curve. The time-dependent cox proportional hazards model exhibited MMF therapy was not associated with a high likelihood of relapse-free survival (HR = 1.099, 95 % CI 0.892-1.354, P = 0.376) after adjusting for age of onset, gender, and baseline MOG serum titers. Similar analysis exhibited evidently negative association between high MOG-IgG serum titers at baseline and relapse-free survival after adjusting for age of onset, gender, and MMF therapy (HR = 0.339, 95 % CI 0.155-0.741, P = 0.007). Conclusions During the first episode of iMOG-ON, the optimal timing of IVMP may be a short timeframe before visual acuity decreasing to 0.175 logMAR, and MMF therapy may not be recommended for patients with low MOG-IgG serum titers. Further long-term follow-up studies are required to validate these findings.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep 2024; 12:2050313X241261021. [PMID: 38881971 PMCID: PMC11179521 DOI: 10.1177/2050313x241261021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
FLAMES, or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesions in anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein)-associated encephalitis with seizures, represents a rarely documented syndrome characterized by ambiguous features. Positioned within the spectrum of inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, it is regarded as a distinct subset of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, the latest classification in this domain. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease exhibits a diverse clinical spectrum, spanning from solitary optic neuritis or myelitis to multifocal central nervous system demyelination, manifesting as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, or cortical encephalitis accompanied by seizures, delineating the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesions in anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated encephalitis with seizures syndrome. We present a compelling case study of a 30-year-old individual with a history of recurrent seizures initially diagnosed with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. However, the disease's progression more closely resembled self-resolving cerebral cortical encephalitis linked with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies. In addition, we undertake a systematic review of literature cases to explore the diagnostic significance of magnetic resonance angiography, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and specialized markers such as diffusion-weighted imaging and perfusion in discerning fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesions in anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated encephalitis with seizures syndrome and elucidating its distinctive characteristics.

Efficacy of steroid therapy in the acute stage of anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibody overlapping encephalitis: a case report and literature review. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1392992. [PMID: 38895128 PMCID: PMC11184463 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1392992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Recently, cases of overlapping encephalitis caused by anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies have been reported, and their clinical characteristics are gradually becoming clear. Acute-phase treatment typically involves the use of steroids, and although some studies have suggested that steroids can be effective, the extent of their efficacy has not yet been fully explored. Case presentation We present the case of a 25-year-old man with anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibody overlapping encephalitis who showed considerable improvement after steroid treatment. To gain a deeper understanding of the efficacy of steroids in managing this condition, we conducted a literature review of cases of anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibody double-positive encephalitis that were treated with steroids during the acute phase. Thirteen cases were analyzed, including a new case diagnosed at our hospital. All patients showed improvement after receiving steroid treatment in the acute phase. Ten patients did not have any sequelae, and nine of them showed a rapid or major response during the acute phase. In contrast, three patients experienced sequelae (mild cognitive decline, visual impairment, and memory impairment, respectively), with their response to steroids in the acute phase being slow or limited. Relapses occurred in five patients, in one patient during steroid tapering, and in another two patients after cessation of steroids. Conclusion Steroid therapy can be effective in the acute stage of anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG antibody overlapping encephalitis. A positive prognosis may be expected in patients who experience substantial improvement with steroid therapy during the acute phase.

The MOG antibody non-P42 epitope is predictive of a relapsing course in MOG antibody-associated disease. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2024; 95:544-553.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) IgG seropositivity is a prerequisite for MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) diagnosis. While a significant proportion of patients experience a relapsing disease, there is currently no biomarker predictive of disease course. We aim to determine whether MOG-IgG epitopes can predict a relapsing course in MOGAD patients. METHODS MOG-IgG-seropositive confirmed adult MOGAD patients were included (n=202). Serum MOG-IgG and epitope binding were determined by validated flow cytometry live cell-based assays. Associations between epitopes, disease course, clinical phenotype, Expanded Disability Status Scale and Visual Functional System Score at onset and last review were evaluated. RESULTS Of 202 MOGAD patients, 150 (74%) patients had MOG-IgG that recognised the immunodominant proline42 (P42) epitope and 115 (57%) recognised histidine103/serine104 (H103/S104). Fifty-two (26%) patients had non-P42 MOG-IgG and showed an increased risk of a relapsing course (HR 1.7; 95% CI 1.15 to 2.60, p=0.009). Relapse-freedom was shorter in patients with non-P42 MOG-IgG (p=0.0079). Non-P42 MOG-IgG epitope status remained unchanged from onset throughout the disease course and was a strong predictor of a relapsing course in patients with unilateral optic neuritis (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.06 to 6.98, p=0.038), with high specificity (95%, 95% CI 77% to 100%) and positive predictive value (85%, 95% CI 45% to 98%). CONCLUSIONS Non-P42 MOG-IgG predicts a relapsing course in a significant subgroup of MOGAD patients. Patients with unilateral optic neuritis, the most frequent MOGAD phenotype, can reliably be tested at onset, regardless of age and sex. Early detection and specialised management in these patients could minimise disability and improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric acquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS) constitutes a group of treatable disorders with acute neurologic dysfunction. Neuroimaging has played a significant role in diagnosis of ADS. We describe clinico-radiologic spectrum, outcomes, and comparison of the groups: acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorders (MOGAD). METHODS Retrospective review of 70 children with ADS at a tertiary care hospital over 15 years (2008-2023) was performed. Diagnosis was assigned as per International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study Group criteria 2016. Fisher's exact and chi-square tests were applied. RESULTS Thirty-nine boys and 31 girls aged 8.2 ± 4.0 years with CIS (n = 27), ADEM (n = 16), NMOSD (n = 13), MS (n = 1), and MOGAD (n = 13) were included. Clinical syndromes with positive significant association included polyfocal symptoms, encephalopathy in ADEM, optic neuritis (ON) in MOGAD, brainstem, area postrema syndrome in NMOSD. MOGAD presented with atypical presentations like prolonged fever (PF; 76.9%) and aseptic meningitis (23%). Seropositivity for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin-G was 62% and for NMO-IgG 2.6%. Neuroimaging of MOGAD showed lesions predominantly in basal ganglia/thalami (69.2%), optic nerve (46.2%), and cerebellum (46.2%). Imaging patterns between ADEM and MOGAD were comparable except for more ON (p = 0.004), spinal cord (p = 0.01), and cerebellar lesions (p = 0.03) in MOGAD. Area postrema lesion was unique to NMOSD. All patients received immunotherapy, of whom 91.4% (n = 64) had good recovery, 8.6% (n = 6) had functional limitation on modified Rankin scale at discharge, and 12 (17.1%) relapsed. CONCLUSION The largest group was CIS. Seropositivity of MOG was high with atypical presentations like PF and aseptic meningitis. Specific neuroimaging patterns correlated with ADS categories. Short-term outcome with immunotherapy was favorable in spite of relapses.

Uncovering the Diagnostic Challenge of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease: A Case Study of Acute Bilateral Vision Loss. Cureus 2024; 16:e60612. [PMID: 38903369 PMCID: PMC11187441 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.60612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
We discuss a perplexing case of a 51-year-old female with a history of asthma and morbid obesity, presenting with acute bilateral vision loss of unknown etiology. The patient's clinical course was marked by a constellation of symptoms, including blurry vision, eyeball pain, photophobia, headache, nausea, and dizziness, prompting a multidisciplinary approach for diagnostic evaluation. Despite a comprehensive workup and a temporal artery biopsy ruling out large vessel arteritis, the etiology of vision loss remained elusive until myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody testing returned positive, implicating myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). High-dose corticosteroid therapy was initiated. However, the patient had worsening visual symptoms and was started on plasmapheresis and subsequent administration of Rituximab to prevent relapses, along with a long-term steroid taper regimen. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of optic neuritis, particularly in MOGAD. It emphasizes the importance of a thorough evaluation and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Fu X, Zhan Q, Zhang L, Tian X. Case report: Shingles-associated probable Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis with IgM anti-sulfatide positivity. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1358886. [PMID: 38660303 PMCID: PMC11041370 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1358886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is a rare disease considered caused by acute demyelination of the brainstem, most often resulting from secondary autoimmune responses. To our knowledge, this is the first probable case report of shingles-associated BBE with anti-sulfatide IgM positivity. Case presentation We report the case of an 83-year-old woman with symptoms of progressive limb weakness, difficulty swallowing food, and disturbed consciousness that occurred 4 weeks following herpes zoster infection. Autoimmune anti-sulfatide antibodies were positive and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences revealed clear high signal intensity in pons and bilateral thalamus. Our patient's condition improved markedly with glucocorticoid treatment. After 2 months of treatment, our patient was fully recovered. We considered that for her case, BBE is the most appropriate diagnosis. Conclusions We emphasize the importance of a careful medical history and assessment of clinical symptoms, performing MRI, testing autoimmune antibodies for rapid diagnosis, and ruling out differential diagnoses. Further studies involving more patients with BBE with IgM anti-sulfatide autoantibodies will increase the understanding of the clinical characteristics and advance the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome. Meanwhile, it is crucial for dermatologists to know about this severe neurological complication following shingles.

Pediatr Neurol 2024; 153:125-130. [PMID: 38382244 PMCID: PMC10940200 DOI: 10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2024.01.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disease (MOGAD) is a type of acquired demyelinating disease that is distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 antibody neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD). Leptomeningeal enhancement (LME) has been reported in children and adults with MOGAD, and in adults with MS and AQP4-NMOSD, but less is known about LME in pediatric-onset MS (POMS) and pediatric AQP4-NMOSD. Here we compare the rates of LME in children with MOGAD, POMS, and AQP4-NMOSD. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed in patients with MOGAD, POMS, and AQP4-NMOSD who presented to our institution. Clinical characteristics, imaging features, and relapsing data were included. Descriptive statistics were used, including chi-square or Fischer exact test, to compare proportions. The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was used to correct for multiple comparisons. RESULTS A total of 42 children were included: 16 with POMS, six with AQP4-NMOSD, and 20 with MOGAD. Brain LME was only observed in the MOGAD group (six of 20 = 30%) when compared with zero (0%) POMS and AQP4-NMOSD (P = 0.012). Relapsing disease occurred in nine of 20 (45%), but LME did not associate with relapse. CONCLUSIONS LME is only observed in pediatric MOGAD and not in POMS or pediatric AQP4-NMOSD. LME did not predict relapses in MOGAD. Further work is needed to determine the clinical significance of LME in pediatric MOGAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an autoimmune disease that can present as a monophasic or relapsing disease course. Here, we investigate the predictors of developing relapsing disease with a focus on the index event. METHODS MOGAD patients followed at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital were included. Data on demographic, clinical, and laboratory features were collected. Time-to-event survival analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards model. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. RESULTS We included 124 patients with a diagnosis of MOGAD of which 62.1% (n = 77) were female. The median (IQR) onset age and follow-up time were 31 (16, 45), and 4.08 (2.2, 7.9) years respectively. In total, 40.3% (n = 50) of patients remained monophasic and, 59.7% (n = 74) developed a relapsing course. The median (IQR) time between the index event and the second attack was 3(2, 13.7) months. Starting maintenance therapy following the index event was associated with decreased risk of relapsing disease (HR:0.26; 95%CI: 0.12, 0.54; P < 0.001). Maintenance therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin (HR:0.1; 95% CI:0.01, 0.78, P = 0.02), rituximab (HR: 0.21; 95%CI: 0.08, 0.55; P = 0.001), and mycophenolate mofetil (HR: 0.27; 95%CI: 0.09, 0.77; P = 0.01) was associated with a decreased risk of relapsing disease course. A polyphasic first attack (HR:2.4; 95%CI:1.31, 4.4; P = 0.004) and high CSF protein (HR:2.06; 95%CI: 1.01, 4.16; P = 0.04) were associated with a relapsing course. CONCLUSIONS In MOGAD patients, starting maintenance therapy following the index event reduces the risk of relapsing disease regardless of age, sex, and onset phenotype, while polyphasic first attack, and elevated CSF protein predict relapsing disease course.

Optic chiasm manual and automated measurements in sub-acute optic neuritis with OCT and MRI correlations. Eur J Radiol 2024; 172:111332. [PMID: 38290202 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The optic chiasm (OC) is a central structure in the visual pathway and can be visualized in conventional MRI, but no consensus regarding its measurement has been defined. We aim to investigate the most reproducible manual approach to OC measurement and to explore associations of OC with optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters, and automatic brain segmentation (FreeSurfer) in subacute optic neuritis (sON), multiple sclerosis without optic neuritis (MSwoON), and healthy subjects (HS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We reproduced two previously reported methodologies and implemented a new proposed simplified approach, entitled optic chiasm mean area (OCMA). The intra and inter-rater reliability and reproducibility were assessed through the intraclass correlation (ICC) and Dice similarity (DSC) coefficients. Partial correlations were calculated to gauge the associations between OCMA fraction (OCMA divided by total intracranial volume), brain regional segmentations derived from FreeSurfer, and OCT parameters. RESULTS We have analysed 43 sON, 20 MSwoON, and 20 HS. OCMA presented better results for reliability in both intra- and inter-rater analysis (excellent ICC and DSC with over 80% overlap between masks), as compared to the other two approaches. OCMA fraction was associated with OC volume fraction obtained with Freesurfer in all groups, brain parenchymal fraction, and OCT parameters in MSwoON. CONCLUSIONS The OCMA is a simplified approach to measure OC atrophy, has a higher reliability than the current approaches and shows association with an automated method. OC-derived measures seem to reflect diffuse neurodegenerative damage, whereas, in patients with subacute ON, it may be associated with local damage.

Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) constitutes a group of autoimmune neuroinflammatory conditions that are characterized by positive serum MOG-immunoglobulin G antibodies. The relationship between MOGAD and immune factors remains unclear. Herein, we report a man in his early 30s who initially presented symptoms of headache and low-grade fever persisting for 20 days. The patient experienced isolated meningitis onset and had recurrent meningitis as the primary clinical feature, which manifested as low-grade fever, headache, and neck rigidity. Although cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed no abnormalities, immunotherapy was promptly administered upon diagnosing MOGAD through positive MOG-specific antibody testing of cerebrospinal and serum fluids. Notably, the patient's symptoms exhibited rapid improvement following treatment. Although meningitis is traditionally associated with infectious diseases, it can also occur in antibody-related autoimmune diseases that affect the central nervous system. Consequently, MOGAD should be considered in cases of aseptic meningitis with an unknown etiology, to facilitate definitive diagnosis and enhance patient prognosis.

Abstract
Aquaporin-4-IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4+NMOSD) and myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are antibody-associated diseases targeting astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, respectively. Their recognition as distinct entities has led to each having its own diagnostic criteria that require a combination of clinical, serologic, and MRI features. The therapeutic approach to acute attacks in AQP4+NMOSD and MOGAD is similar. There is now class 1 evidence to support attack-prevention medications for AQP4+NMOSD. MOGAD lacks proven treatments although clinical trials are now underway. In this review, we will outline similarities and differences between AQP4+NMOSD and MOGAD in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Background Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated encephalitis is a new clinical phenotype of inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Some MOG antibody-positive patients with central nervous system demyelinating events present with isolated seizures. However, there are gaps in the epidemiological knowledge regarding seizures with MOG antibody-associated encephalitis in adults. This study characterized the clinical features and treatment of MOG antibody-positive patients with isolated seizures. Methods We reviewed all the patients admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between Jan. 1st 2017 and Jan. 1st 2022, to screen the MOG antibody-positive patients with isolated seizures, and collected the concerned patients' information regarding epidemiology, clinical presentations, laboratory and radiological characteristics, electroencephalogram (EEG), treatments, and prognoses. Results We collected six MOG antibody-positive adult patients who had isolated symptomatic seizures. The mean age of the patients was 33 years (range, 29-40 years), and five (83.3%) were men. All patients presented with motor seizures, five (83.3%) had cognitive dysfunction, and only one (16.7%) had status epilepticus. Five (83.3%) patients had a good response to immunotherapy and antiseizure medications; only one had a sequela. The cerebrospinal fluid or serum anti-MOG antibody test turned negative over time. Discussion The most common seizure type in patients with MOG antibody-associated encephalitis with isolated seizures was focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, and most patients had a good prognosis. Adding antiseizure medications were beneficial for MOG antibody-positive patients with seizures. Relapses and sequelae were associated with low-dose, short-time, or delayed therapy, and wide-range demyelinating brain damage.

Abstract
The overlapping of two or more types of neural autoantibodies in one patient has increasingly been documented in recent years. The coexistence of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibodies is most common, which leads to a unique condition known as the MOG antibody and NMDAR antibody overlapping syndrome (MNOS). Here, we have reviewed the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, paraclinical features, and treatment of MNOS. Forty-nine patients with MNOS were included in this study. They were young males with a median onset age of 23 years. No tumors were observed in the patients, and 24 of them reported prodromal symptoms. The most common clinical presentations were psychiatric symptoms (35/49) and seizures (25/49). Abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging involved the brainstem (11/49), cerebellum (9/49), and parietal lobe (9/49). Most patients mostly responded to immunotherapy and had a good long-term prognosis. However, the overall recurrence rate of MNOS was higher than that of mono antibody-positive diseases. The existence of concurrent NMDAR antibodies should be suspected in patients with MOG antibody-associated disease having psychiatric symptoms, seizures, movement disorders, or autonomic dysfunction. Similarly, serum MOG antibody testing should be performed when patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis present with atypical clinical manifestations, such as visual impairment and limb weakness, and neuroradiological findings, such as optic nerve, spinal cord, or infratentorial involvement or meningeal enhancement. Early detection of the syndrome and prompt treatment can be beneficial for these patients, and maintenance immunosuppressive therapy is recommended due to the high overall recurrence rate of the syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) comprises various age-dependent clinical phenotypes and may be monophasic, multiphasic, or chronic. Optic neuritis (ON) is a common manifestation and frequently appears in combination with other MOGAD phenotypes, particularly in young children. Despite permanent structural damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), children often experience complete visual recovery. AIMS To analyze the progression and impact of MOGAD on the visual system of pediatric patients independently of the history of ON. METHODS This retrospective study included children who met specific criteria: myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) immunoglobulin G (IgG) seropositivity, acute presentation of MOGAD, and written general consent. Main outcome measures were global peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, and near and distance visual acuity, analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS We identified 10 patients with median age of 7.7 years at first event: 7 patients manifested with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) (with ON 5/7, ADEM only 1/7, with transverse myelitis (TM) 1/7), 2 with isolated ON, and 1 patient with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-like phenotype with ON. Among ON patients, 5/8 were affected bilaterally, with 3 initially diagnosed with unilateral ON but experiencing subsequent involvement of the fellow eye. None of the patients without previous ON showed a deterioration of visual acuity and, if evaluated, a reduction of the pRNFL. CONCLUSION Most pediatric MOGAD-ON patients in our cohort presented with acute vison loss and optic disc edema. All patients achieved complete visual recovery, independent of number of relapses or initial visual loss. The pRNFL thickness decreased for several months and stabilized at reduced levels after 12 months in the absence of further relapses. MOGAD may not have subclinical/'silent' effects on the visual system, as visual acuity and pRNFL were not affected in patients without ON.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a recently identified autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the CNS affecting both adults and children. Diagnostic criteria for MOGAD have recently been published. We aimed to validate the 2023 MOGAD diagnostic criteria in a real-world cohort of patients with atypical CNS inflammation. METHODS All patients referred to the National neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) specialized service at The Walton Center NHS Foundation Trust between 2012 and 2023 with an atypical demyelinating syndrome were evaluated. We systematically applied the 2023 MOGAD diagnostic criteria and previous 2018 International Diagnostic Recommendations for MOG encephalomyelitis to our retrospective cohort. RESULTS 474 patients were screened and 66 were excluded for lack of clinical information. Preexisting diagnoses within our cohort included the following: MOGAD, n = 127; AQP4-IgG NMOSD, n = 125; seronegative NMOSD, n = 33; multiple sclerosis (MS), n = 10; and other diagnoses, n = 113. Of patients with preexisting MOGAD, 97% (123/127) fulfilled the 2023 MOGAD diagnostic criteria. Three patients with a low-positive MOG-IgG did not meet supportive features though 2/3 had insufficient investigations. Alternative diagnoses could not be excluded in 1 patient with MS-MOGAD overlap. No patients with a non-MOGAD diagnosis were found to fulfill the 2023 diagnostic criteria. The sensitivity and specificity of the 2023 MOGAD diagnostic criteria were 97% and 100% with no false positives, improving on 2018 International Diagnostic Recommendations for MOG encephalomyelitis. Low-positive MOG-IgG results were more often associated with a longer time from disease onset to sampling (p < 0.001). In addition, in patients with a MOG-IgG1 test within 6 months of clinical onset, approximately 25% can become low positive by 6 months. Of patients with preexisting MOGAD, 9% (12/127) had insufficient investigations and examinations to fully evaluate additional supportive features. However, in those who were completely evaluated, supportive features were fulfilled in 97% (111/115). DISCUSSION The 2023 MOGAD diagnostic criteria were highly sensitive and specific and closely align with historically established cases of MOGAD. However, because additional supportive features are stipulated for patients with a low-positive MOG-IgG result, missed diagnoses may occur due to delayed testing or insufficient investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a relapsing demyelinating condition. There are several cross-sectional studies showing evidence of brain atrophy in people with MOGAD (pwMOGAD), but longitudinal brain volumetric assessment is still an unmet need. Current recommendations do not include monitoring with MRI and assume distinct attacks. Evidence of ongoing axon loss will have diagnostic and therapeutic implications. In this study, we assessed brain volume changes in pwMOGAD over a mean follow-up period of 2 years and compared this to changes in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). METHODS This is a retrospective single-center study over a 7-year period from 2014 to 2021. MRI brain scans at the time of diagnosis and follow-up in remission were collected from 14 Caucasian pwMOGAD, confirmed by serum myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G antibody presence, detected by live cell-based assays. Total brain volume (TBV), white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and demyelinating lesion volumes were assessed automatically using the Statistical Parametric Mapping and FMRIB automated segmentation tools. MRI brain scans at diagnosis and follow-up on remission were collected from 32-matched pwMS for comparison. Statistical analysis was done using analysis of variance. RESULTS There is evidence of TBV loss, affecting particularly GM, over an approximately 2-year follow-up period in pwMOGAD (p < .05), comparable to pwMS. WM and lesion volume change over the same period were not statistically significant (p > .1). CONCLUSION We found evidence of loss of GM and TBV over time in pwMOGAD, similar to pwMS, although the WM and lesion volumes were unchanged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a newly described clinical entity comprised of isolated or recurrent attacks of optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), encephalitis, or seronegative NMOSD. Prior studies report that 30-80 % of children and adults with MOGAD go on to have relapses though there are no reliable predictors. The objectives of this study were to (1) describe the demographic, clinical, and radiographic patterns of MOGAD at our center and (2) identify possible predictors of relapsing disease. METHODS Single-center retrospective cohort study of pediatric and adult subjects with MOGAD evaluated at least once at our center between January 1, 2017 and September 30, 2022. Eligible subjects had a history of positive MOG-IgG and consistent clinical syndrome comprised of an initial attack of optic neuritis (ON), transverse myelitis (TM), ADEM, cerebral cortical encephalitis, seronegative neuromyelitis optica (simultaneous ON and TM), isolated brainstem or cerebellar syndrome, or other (not fitting into another group). Relapsing subjects or those remaining monophasic at 12 months were included in the analyses of predictors of relapsing disease. Covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, and index event phenotype. Unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios were calculated for pediatric and adult subjects. RESULTS We describe the demographic, clinical, and radiographic characteristics of 58 subjects with MOGAD. Covariates from 48 subjects were analyzed for predictors of relapsing disease. In adults, Hispanics and non-White non-Hispanics were at increased risk of relapsing disease compared to non-Hispanic Whites [Adjusted RR 1.52 (95 % CI: 1.01, 2.30)]. There were no significant associations in the pediatric group. CONCLUSION This study is the first to describe a cohort of MOGAD in the Pacific Northwest. Our findings highlight racial and ethnic differences in risk of relapsing MOGAD in adults. Further studies on racial and ethnic differences in MOGAD are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The first formal consensus diagnostic criteria for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) were recently proposed. Yet, the distinction of MOGAD-defining characteristics from characteristics of its important differential diagnoses such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is still obstructed. In preclinical research, MOG antibody-based animal models were used for decades to derive knowledge about MS. In clinical research, people with MOGAD have been combined into cohorts with other diagnoses. Thus, it remains unclear to which extent the generated knowledge is specifically applicable to MOGAD. Translational research can contribute to identifying MOGAD characteristic features by establishing imaging methods and outcome parameters on proven pathophysiological grounds. This article reviews suitable animal models for translational MOGAD research and the current state and prospect of translational imaging in MOGAD.

Molecular Mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 Proteins and Human Self-Antigens Related with Autoimmune Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2902.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 can trigger autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) diseases in genetically susceptible individuals, a mechanism poorly understood. Molecular mimicry (MM) has been identified in other viral diseases as potential triggers of autoimmune CNS events. This study investigated if MM is the process through which SARS-CoV-2 induces the breakdown of immune tolerance. The frequency of autoimmune CNS disorders was evaluated in a prospective cohort with patients admitted to the COVID-19 Intense Care Unity (ICU) in Rio de Janeiro. Then, an in silico analysis was performed to identify the conserved regions that share a high identity between SARS-CoV-2 antigens and human proteins. The sequences with significant identity and antigenic properties were then assessed for their binding capacity to HLA subtypes. Of the 112 patients included, 3 were classified as having an autoimmune disorder. A total of eleven combinations had significant linear and three-dimensional overlap. NMDAR1, MOG, and MPO were the self-antigens with more significant combinations, followed by GAD65. All sequences presented at least one epitope with strong or intermediate binding capacity to the HLA subtypes selected. This study underscores the possibility that CNS autoimmune attacks observed in COVID-19 patients, including those in our population, could be driven by MM in genetically predisposed individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) autoantibody assays are needed to effectively diagnose neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and MOG antibody-associated disease. A proportion of patients at our centre have been tested for anti-AQP4 and anti-MOG autoantibodies locally, followed by an outsourced test as part of real-world practice. Outsourced testing is costly and of unproven utility. We conducted a quality improvement project to determine the value of outsourced testing for anti-AQP4 and anti-MOG autoantibodies. METHODS All patients seen by Calgary neurological services who underwent cell-based testing for anti-AQP4 and/or anti-MOG autoantibodies at both MitogenDx (Calgary, AB) and Mayo Clinic Laboratories (Rochester, MN, USA) between 2016 and 2020 were identified from a provincial database. The interlaboratory concordance was calculated by pairing within-subject results collected no more than 365 days apart. Retrospective chart review was done for subjects with discordant results to determine features associated with discordance and use of outsourced testing. RESULTS Fifty-seven anti-AQP4 and 46 anti-MOG test pairs from January 2016 to July 2020 were analyzed. Concordant tests pairs comprised 54/57 (94.7%, 95%CI 88.9-100.0%) anti-AQP4 and 41/46 (89.1%, 95%CI 80.1-98.1%) anti-MOG results. Discordant anti-AQP4 pairs included two local weak positives (negative when outsourced) and one local negative (positive when outsourced). Discordant anti-MOG pairs were all due to local weak positives (negative when outsourced). CONCLUSION Interlaboratory discordant results for cell-based testing of anti-AQP4 autoantibodies were rare. Local anti-MOG weak positive results were associated with discordance, highlighting the need for cautious interpretation based on the clinical context. Our findings may reduce redundant outsourced testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an immune-mediated neurological disorder with a broad spectrum of clinical presentation that is often difficult to distinguish from other demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of MOGAD in a Brazilian tertiary center. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of adult and pediatric patients who tested positive for anti-MOG antibodies and presented with clinical and radiological diseases compatible with MOGAD. RESULTS Forty-one patients (10 children) were included: 56% female, 58% Caucasian, mean age at onset 31 years (range 6-64), with a mean disease duration of 59.6 months (range 1-264 months). The most frequent onset presentation was optic neuritis (68%), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM, 12%), and myelitis (10%). A monophasic disease course was observed in 49%. EDSS median was 2.1 at the last visit. Most patients (83%) were under continuous immunosuppressive treatment. Azathioprine was the first-line treatment in 59%. In all ADEM cases, conus, and root involvement was radiologically observed on MRI. CONCLUSION Brazilian MOGAD patients presented with a similar spectrum of previously reported MOGAD phenotypes. Conus and spinal root involvement seems to be frequently present in MOGAD-ADEM and could serve as radiologic characteristics of this clinical entity.

Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. This study aimed to delineate the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and long-term outcomes in Chinese patients with MOGAD and analyze the recurrence-associated factors. The phenotypic and neuroimaging characteristics of 15 Han Chinese patients with MOGAD were retrospectively analyzed. Demyelinating attacks, MOG antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid/serum, response to immunotherapy, follow-up outcomes, and recurrence-associated factors were recorded. The median age at disease onset was 34 years (range, 4-65 years). The most common initial presentations included vision loss (10/15, 66.7%) and seizures (5/15, 33.3%). Serum MOG-Ab titers in 14/15 cases were higher than those in the cerebrospinal fluid and were detected in 3/6 relapsed patients. Brain magnetic resonance imaging during acute attacks showed lesions in 10/15 patients (66.7%), mostly in the cortex/subcortical white matter (5/15, 33.3%). Recurrence occurred in 6/15 patients (40.0%); in 4 patients, recurrence occurred shortly after immunotherapy discontinuation. Residual neurological deficits were present in 5/15 patients (33.3%), including visual impairment, incapacitation, cognitive impairment, and speech reduction. Optic neuritis was the most common clinical manifestation of MOGAD. magnetic resonance imaging findings were heterogeneous and the cerebral cortex/subcortical white matter was the most susceptible brain region. Although patients in the acute phase responded well to methylprednisolone pulse therapy, the long-term recurrence rate was high. Consistently detected serum MOG antibodies and inappropriate maintenance immunotherapy may be associated with recurrence, and residual neurological deficits should not be ignored.

Abstract
Most patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) test positive for aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-IgG). Those who are negative are termed double-negative (DN) NMOSD and may constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. DN NMOSD is a syndrome rather than a single disease, ranging from a (postinfectious) monophasic illness to a more chronic syndrome that can be indistinguishable from AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD or develop into other mimics such as multiple sclerosis. Thus, underlying disease mechanisms are likely to be heterogeneous. This topical review aims to (1) reappraise antibody-negative NMOSD definition as it has changed over time with the development of the AQP4 and MOG-IgG assays; (2) outline clinical characteristics and the pathophysiological nature of this rare entity by contrasting its differences and similarities with antibody-positive NMOSD; (3) summarize laboratory characteristics and magnetic resonance imaging findings of DN NMOSD; and (4) discuss the current treatment for DN NMOSD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aseptic meningitis was recently reported and recognized as a novel phenotype of Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOG-AD). However, the frequency and clinical features of this specific subtype remain unclear. METHODS We reported sixteen MOG-AD cases with aseptic meningitis from June 2018 to June 2022. Moreover, systematic literature of 17 reported cases was conducted. RESULTS Upon reviewing the records of 91 patients diagnosed with MOG-AD in our center, we identified 16 patients (17.6%; 9 men and 7 women) with aseptic meningitis-like MOG-AD. The median age at onset was 23.5 ± 15.7 years. The common clinical presentations were fever (87.5%), headache (75.0%) and seizure (18.8%). Most patients had leukocytosis (62.5%) and a significantly elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR, ≥3.0). Cerebrospinal fluid showed elevated intracranial hypertension (43.8%), elevated leukocytes (100%) and protein (56.3%). Negative brain magnetic resonance images were observed in 6 patients and only meningeal enhancement was observed in 8 patients at first. Almost all patients had a prolonged fever (over 2 weeks) and ineffectual antibiotic treatment. All patients experienced an effective response to immunotherapy. The majority had a benign course (low Expanded Disability Status Scale score and relapsing rate). Five patients (31.3%) progressed and four patients (25.0%) experienced recurrence. Aseptic meningitis-like MOG-AD of 17 cases reported in previous studies showed similar clinical features to our cases. CONCLUSION Aseptic meningitis could be an initial or isolated manifestation of MOG-AD. It is an underestimated phenotype of MOG-AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify factors associated with relapse risk and disability in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD). METHOD Between 2016 and 2021, 186 patients with MOGAD were included in the study. Factors associated with a relapsing course, annualised relapse rate (ARR), recurrent relapses under different maintenance treatments and unfavourable disability outcome were analysed. RESULTS MOGAD affects women (53.8%) slightly more often than men. After a median disease duration of 51.0 months, 60.2% (112/186) relapsed, with an overall ARR of 0.5. The ARR (0.6 vs 0.4, p=0.049), median Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score (1 (range 0-9.5) vs 1 (range 0-3.5), p=0.005) and Visual Functional System Score (VFSS) (0 (range 0-6) vs 0 (range 0-3), p=0.023) at last visit were higher in adults than in children, and time to first relapse was shorter in adults than in children (4.1 (range 1.0-111.0) vs 12.2 (range 1.3-266.8) months, p=0.001). Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-ab) persistence over 1 year was associated with a relapsing course (OR 7.41, 95% CI 2.46 to 22.33, p=0.000), while timely maintenance therapy was associated with a lower ARR (p=0.008). More than four attacks (OR 4.86, 95% CI 1.65 to 14.28, p=0.004) and poor recovery from the first attack (OR 75.28, 95% CI 14.45 to 392.05, p=0.000) were associated with an unfavourable outcome (EDSS score ≥2 including VFSS ≥2). CONCLUSIONS The results underscored the importance of timely maintenance treatment to prevent further relapses, especially in adult patients with persistently positive MOG-ab and unsatisfactory recovery from the onset attack.

Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with the presence of conformation-sensitive antibodies against MOG. The spectrum of MOGAD includes monophasic/relapsing optic neuritis, myelitis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) phenotype without aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies, acute/multiphasic demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM/MDEM)-like presentation, and brainstem and cerebral cortical encephalitis. There is no apparent female preponderance in MOGAD, and MOGAD can onset in all age groups (age at onset is approximately 30 years on average, and approximately 30% of cases are in the pediatric age group). While prevalence and incidence data have been available for AQP4+ NMOSD globally, such data are only beginning to accumulate for MOGAD. We reviewed the currently available data from population-based MOGAD studies conducted around the world: three studies in Europe, three in Asia, and one joint study in the Americas. The prevalence of MOGAD is approximately 1.3-2.5/100,000, and the annual incidence is approximately 3.4-4.8 per million. Among White people, the prevalence of MOGAD appears to be slightly higher than that of AQP4+ NMOSD. No obvious latitude gradient was observed in the Japanese nationwide survey. The data available so far showed no obvious racial preponderance or strong HLA associations in MOGAD. However, precedent infection was reported in approximately 20-40% of MOGAD cases, and this is worthy of further investigation. Co-existing autoimmune disorders are less common in MOGAD than in AQP4+ NMOSD, but NMDAR antibodies may occasionally be positive in patients with MOGAD. More population-based studies in different populations and regions are useful to further inform the epidemiology of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-Ab) distinguish multiple sclerosis (MS) from MOG-associated disease in most cases. However, studies analyzing MOG-Ab at the time of a first demyelinating event suggestive of MS in adults are lacking. We aimed to (1) evaluate the prevalence of MOG-Ab in a first demyelinating event suggestive of MS and (2) compare clinical and paraclinical features between seropositive (MOG-Ab+) and seronegative (MOG-Ab-) patients. METHODS Six hundred thirty adult patients with available serum samples obtained within 6 months from the first event were included. MOG-Ab were analyzed using a live cell-based assay. Statistical analyses included parametric and nonparametric tests, logistic regression, and survival models. RESULTS MOG-Ab were positive in 17 of 630 (2.7%). Fourteen out of 17 (82.4%) MOG-Ab+ patients presented with optic neuritis (ON) compared to 227of 613 (37.0%) MOG-Ab- patients (p = 0.009). Cerebrospinal fluid-restricted oligoclonal bands (CSF-OBs) were found in 2 of 16 (12.5%) MOG-Ab+ versus 371 of 601 (61.7%) MOG-Ab- subjects (p < 0.001). Baseline brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal in 9 of 17 (52.9%) MOG-Ab+ versus 153 of 585 (26.2%) MOG-Ab- patients (p = 0.029). Absence of CSF-OBs and ON at onset were independently associated with MOG-Ab positivity (odds ratio [OR] = 9.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.04-53.6, p = 0.009; and OR = 4.17, 95% CI = 1.15-19.8, p = 0.042, respectively). Of MOG-Ab+ patients, 22.9% (95% CI = 0.0-42.7) compared to 67.6% (95% CI = 63.3-71.3) of MOG-Ab- patients fulfilled McDonald 2017 criteria at 5 years (log-rank p = 0.003). INTERPRETATION MOG-Ab are infrequent in adults with a first demyelinating event suggestive of MS. However, based on our results, we suggest to determine these antibodies in those patients with ON and absence of CSF-OBs, as long as the brain MRI is not suggestive of MS. ANN NEUROL 2023.

Abstract
Differentiating multiple sclerosis (MS) from other relapsing inflammatory autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is crucial in clinical practice. The differential diagnosis may be challenging but making the correct ultimate diagnosis is critical, since prognosis and treatments differ, and inappropriate therapy may promote disability. In the last two decades, significant advances have been made in MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD including new diagnostic criteria with better characterization of typical clinical symptoms and suggestive imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) lesions. MRI is invaluable in making the ultimate diagnosis. An increasing amount of new evidence with respect to the specificity of observed lesions as well as the associated dynamic changes in the acute and follow-up phase in each condition has been reported in distinct studies recently published. Additionally, differences in brain (including the optic nerve) and spinal cord lesion patterns between MS, aquaporin4-antibody-positive NMOSD, and MOGAD have been described. We therefore present a narrative review on the most relevant findings in brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve lesions on conventional MRI for distinguishing adult patients with MS from NMOSD and MOGAD in clinical practice. In this context, cortical and central vein sign lesions, brain and spinal cord lesions characteristic of MS, NMOSD, and MOGAD, optic nerve involvement, role of MRI at follow-up, and new proposed diagnostic criteria to differentiate MS from NMOSD and MOGAD were discussed.

Do Early Relapses Predict the Risk of Long-Term Relapsing Disease in an Adult and Paediatric Cohort with MOGAD? Ann Neurol 2023; 94:508-517. [PMID: 37394961 DOI: 10.1002/ana.26731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) can be monophasic or relapsing, with early relapse being a feature. However, the relevance of early relapse on longer-term relapse risk is unknown. Here, we investigate whether early relapses increase longer-term relapse risk in patients with MOGAD. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 289 adult- and pediatric-onset patients with MOGAD followed for at least 2 years in 6 specialized referral centers. "Early relapses" were defined as attacks within the first 12 months from onset, with "very early relapses" defined within 30 to 90 days from onset and "delayed early relapses" defined within 90 to 365 days. "Long-term relapses" were defined as relapses beyond 12 months. Cox regression modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to estimate the long-term relapse risk and rate. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients (23.2%) had early relapses with a median number of 1 event. Univariate analysis revealed an elevated risk for long-term relapses if any "early relapses" were present (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.11, p < 0.001), whether occurring during the first 3 months (HR = 2.70, p < 0.001) or the remaining 9 months (HR = 1.88, p = 0.001), with similar results yielded in the multivariate analysis. In children with onset below aged 12 years, only delayed early relapses were associated with an increased risk of long-term relapses (HR = 2.64, p = 0.026). INTERPRETATION The presence of very early relapses and delayed early relapses within 12 months of onset in patients with MOGAD increases the risk of long-term relapsing disease, whereas a relapse within 90 days appears not to indicate a chronic inflammatory process in young pediatric-onset disease.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1252650. [PMID: 37705970 PMCID: PMC10495565 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1252650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Though considered optimal, live cell-based assay (LCBA) is often unavailable for the diagnosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorders (MOGAD) in resource-poor regions. This study was undertaken to determine the agreement between LCBA and the widely available fixed cell-based assay (FCBA), for recommending testing guidelines within our region. Method All consecutive patients in our registry with a MOGAD phenotype were tested. The results from a commercially available FCBA (Euroimmun, Germany) were compared with a validated "in-house" LCBA. Clinical and MRI data were available for correlation. Results Among the 257 patient samples tested, 118 (45.9%) were positive by FCBA titre ≥1: 10 and or LCBA titres ≥1: 160 titre and 139 samples were negative. There was robust agreement between the two assays (agreement 98.8%, Cohen's kappa 0.98 [95% CI- 0.95-1.00], Spearman correlation 0.97 (p < 0.0001). Among five discordant samples, four had clinical and or MRI data which supported an alternate diagnosis. There was a modest correlation between assay titres, particularly for samples with titres ≥ 1:100 in FCBA (Spearman's Rho 0.26, p 0.005). Thirty samples were positive by FCBA at < 1:100 titre and included 1:80 (20),1:40(7) and 1:10 (3) titres. Among them, 80% had clear positive titres when tested by LCBA. Conclusion The FCBA tested with serum dilutions of 1:10 was highly predictive of MOGAD in our study and compared well with our "in-house" LCBA. The current recommendations for testing at higher dilutions need to be re-examined in light of our findings. The results of our study should ideally be replicated in a larger dataset but at the same time provide some guidance for the accurate diagnosis of MOGAD in resource-poor settings.

Abstract
The phenotypic spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)- IgG-associated disorders (MOGAD) has broadened in the past few years, and atypical phenotypes are increasingly recognized. Isolated seizures and MRI-negative brainstem and cerebellar symptoms or encephalitis have rarely been reported as a feature of MOGAD and represent a diagnostic challenge. Meanwhile, the coexistence of MOG IgG and other CNS autoimmune antibodies is infrequent. We report a patient presented with isolated epileptic onset, relapsed with MRI-negative brainstem symptoms and MRI-negative encephalitis. He was positive for MOG IgG throughout the disease course while concomitant NMDAR IgG was not detected positive until second relapse. He showed decreasing response to conventional first-line therapy. The last relapse was during a COVID-19 epidemic with limited inpatient resources. Fortunately, he was ultimately controlled on subcutaneous ofatumumab, a novel fully humanized anti-CD20 mAb. This is the first report about subcutaneous ofatumumab treatment in MOG and NMDAR IgG double positive encephalitis with 12-month follow-up, depicting its potential as a therapeutic option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND tumefactive multiple sclerosis (TmMS) is a rare subtype of a demyelinating disease that develops over time. Cases of hyperacute presentations mimicking cerebrovascular disorders have been reported; however, detailed clinical and demographic data are lacking. METHODS this study aimed to systematically review the literature on tumefactive demyelinating disorders presenting as strokes. After screening the PubMed, PubMed Central, and Web of Science databases, 39 articles describing 41 patients were identified, including 2 historical patients from our center. RESULTS 23 (53.4%) patients were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis variants (vMS), 17 (39.5%) with inflammatory demyelinating variants (vInf), and 3 with tumors; however, only 43.5% of cases were verified histologically. In subgroup analysis, vMS differed from vInf in several aspects. Inflammatory cerebral spinal fluid parameters, including pleocytosis, proteinorachia was more commonly observed in vInf [11 (64.7%) vs. 1 (5.2%), P = 0.001 and 13/17 (76.4%) vs. 6/23 (31.5%), P = 0.02] than that in vMS. Neurological deterioration and fatal outcomes were more commonly observed in vInf [13/17 (76.4%) vs. 7/23 (30.4%), P = 0.003, and 11/17 (64.7%) vs. 0/23 (0%), P = 0.0001] than that in vMS. CONCLUSIONS Clinicodemographic data might aid in recognizing different subtypes of TmMS and warrant consideration of unconventional therapies because outcomes may be poor in the vInf of TmMS.

Abstract
Optic neuritis (ON) is one of the most frequently seen neuro-ophthalmic causes of vision loss worldwide. Typical ON is often idiopathic or seen in patients with multiple sclerosis, which is well described in the landmark clinical trial, the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT). However, since the completion of the ONTT, there has been the discovery of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies, which are biomarkers for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), respectively. These disorders are associated with atypical ON that was not well characterised in the ONTT. The severity, rate of recurrence and overall outcome differs in these two entities requiring prompt and accurate diagnosis and management. This review will summarise the characteristic neuro-ophthalmological signs in NMOSD and MOGAD, serological markers and radiographic findings, as well as acute and long-term therapies used for these disorders.

Abstract
Background and purpose Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) has gained recognition in recent years as an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The clinical features and prognosis of MOGAD adult cerebral cortical encephalitis (adult CCE) have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to further characterize the clinical symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and prognosis of CCE with anti-MOG antibody. Methods We present two adult cases of CCE with anti-MOG antibody and summarize the clinical symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and prognosis of this phenotype as per a completed systematic review of the literature. Results We found a total of 39 cases of MOGAD adult CCE (36% females; average age of onset of 29 years). Among them, 85% had seizure, 82% had headache, 64% had cortical symptoms, 64% had fever, 54% had changes of consciousness, and 38% had ocular symptoms. All cases demonstrated cerebral cortical T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) lesions on MRI. Of the 25 patients (with seizure or not) who had EEG reports, 76% of patients showed abnormal EEG. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white blood cell count of 90% of patients and CSF total protein of 67% of patients were elevated. In 16 patients with available CSF cytology data, 11 (69%) had abnormal cytology findings with monocytic predominance. In the 15 cases for which MOG antibody IgG was tested in both serum and CSF, 14 (93%) demonstrated a higher positive MOG IgG titer in serum than CSF. The majority of patients were treated with immunosuppressive therapy (97% corticosteroids, 15% mycophenolate mofetil, 13% IVIg, 5% azathioprine, and 5% other). The majority of patients had a favorable prognosis after treatment, as exemplified by improved clinical symptoms and imaging. Two patients relapsed. Conclusions The clinical presentation and prognosis of adult CCE remain less understood in comparison to more common MOGAD phenotypes. It is important to consider MOGAD as an underlying etiology for adult CCE, as early detection and immunotherapy may improve outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction As recognition of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease becomes more widespread, the importance of appropriately ordering and interpreting diagnostic testing for this antibody increases. Several assays are commercially available for MOG testing, and based on a few small studies with very few discrepant results, some have suggested that live cell-based assays (CBA) are superior to fixed CBA for clinical MOG antibody testing. We aimed to determine the real-world agreement between a fixed and live CBA for MOG using two of the most commonly available commercial testing platforms. Methods We compared paired clinical samples tested at two national clinical reference laboratories and determined the real-world agreement between the fixed CBA and live CBA. Results Of 322 paired samples tested on both platforms, 53 were positive and 246 were negative by both methodologies (agreement 92.9%, Cohen's kappa 0.78, [0.69-0.86]). Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.80 (p < 0.0001). Of the discrepant results, only 1 of 14 results positive by the live CBA had a titer greater than 1:100, and only 1 of 9 results positive by the fixed CBA had a titer of greater than 1:80. Lower titers on the fixed CBA correlate to higher titers on the live CBA. Conclusion Overall, there is excellent agreement between fixed and live CBA for MOG antibody testing in a real-world clinical laboratory setting. Clinicians should be aware of which method they use to assess any given patient, as titers are comparable, but not identical between the assays.

Abstract
The current diagnostic criteria for pediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) are summarized, as well as the evidence for performance of the most recent iteration of McDonald criteria in the pediatric population. Next, the varied roles of MRI in POMS are reviewed, including diagnostic considerations and research-based utilization. The primary role of bloodwork and cerebrospinal fluid studies in the diagnosis of POMS is to rule out disease mimics. Prognostically, POMS portends a more inflammatory course with higher relapse rate and disability reached at younger ages compared with AOMS counterparts. As such, there is an emerging trend toward the earlier use of highly efficacious disease modifying therapies to target prompt immunomodulatory disease control. Current POMS disease modifying therapies (DMTs) and active clinical POMS trials are detailed.

Abstract
We report two male patients who had a sensory seizure, which evolved into a focal impaired awareness tonic seizure, and after that, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. The first case, a 20-year-old man had been treated with steroids for anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-positive optic neuritis. His seizure started with abnormal sensation in the little finger of the left hand, which spread to the left upper and then to the left lower limb. The seizure then evolved into tonic seizures of the upper and lower limbs and he finally lost awareness. The second case, a 19-year-old man experienced floating dizziness while walking, followed by numbness and a pain-like electrical shock in the right upper limb. The right arm somatosensory seizure evolved into a right upper and lower limb tonic seizure, which spread to the bilateral limbs, and finally he lost awareness. Symptoms of both patients improved after the treatment with steroids. Both patients shared a similar high-intensity FLAIR lesion in the posterior midcingulate cortex. Both patients were diagnosed with MOG antibody-positive cerebral cortical encephalitis because of a positive titer of anti-MOG antibody in the serum. Several reports showed involvement of the cingulate gyrus in MOG antibody-positive cerebral cortical encephalitis, but only a few reported seizure semiology in detail. The semiology reported here is consistent with that of cingulate epilepsy or the findings of electrical stimulation of the cingulate cortex, namely, somatosensory (electric shock or heat sensation), motor (tonic posture), and vestibular symptoms (dizziness). Cingulate seizures should be suspected when patients show somatosensory seizures or focal tonic seizures. MOG antibody-positive cerebral cortical encephalitis should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses when the young patient shows the unique symptoms of an acute symptomatic cingulate seizure.
