Abstract:
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOG-AD) is an
inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system characterized by immune-mediated
demyelination. We present a case of a patient with subacute to chronic progressive bilateral motor
weakness associated with encephalopathy, which led to the diagnosis of MOG-AD. This case
highlights the importance of recognizing the diverse clinical manifestations and the need for a
multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management of MOG-AD. In this review, we
discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, imaging findings, treatment strategies, and
prognosis of MOG-AD based on the available literature.
