Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorder (MOGAD) is a central nervous system inflammatory disorder associated with MOG antibodies. Two patients with clinical symptoms of cauda equina syndrome had positive serum MOG antibody tests, and spinal magnetic resonance imaging showed cauda equina enhancement. They were diagnosed with incomplete cauda equina syndrome associated with MOGAD. A few cases of lumbosacral radiculomyelitis associated with MOGAD have been reported; however, this is the first report of isolated lumbosacral radiculitis associated with MOGAD without transverse myelitis. The MOG antibody test should be considered for cauda equina syndrome without compressive lesions.
