The Expanding Clinical Spectrum of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibody Associated Disease in Children and Adults

“…MOGAD can mimic infective rhomboencephalitis when a patient presents with fever, CSF leukocytosis, brainstem enhancing lesions and leptomeningeal enhancement ( 44 , 68 ), or Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation with Pontine Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids (CLIPPERS), when MRI shows punctate, curvilinear enhancement in the pons ( 71 – 73 ). Whether CLIPPERS is a form of MOGAD or elicits an immune response to MOG-Ab is uncertain ( 73 ).…”
