Anti-MOG syndrome: two case reports
https://doi.org/10.14412/2074-2711-2019-1-84-88
Abstract
The paper describes two cases of adolescent-onset anti-MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) syndrome. One case had an onset of optic neuritis, followed by myelitis; a recurrence of the syndrome occurred during interferon-β therapy. In the other case the syndrome also began with optic neuritis; and after a long latent period it was manifested as unilateral encephalitis with contralateral hemiparesis and rare epileptic seizures. Detection of anti-MOG syndrome is of great importance, because its management tactics is different from that for multiple sclerosis; furthermore, the laboratory diagnosis of this syndrome can be made in our country now.
