ABSTRACT
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) has been implicated in a wide range of CNS encephalitis and myelitis presentations. We present a previously healthy 16-year-old girl who presented with acute onset headaches that rapidly progressed to encephalopathy, flaccid paraparesis, lower extremity hyperreflexia, and urinary retention. Serial MRI brain and total spine imaging demonstrated evolving diffuse supratentorial leptomeningeal enhancement and holocord gray matter restricted T2 bright lesion without enhancement. CSF was markedly inflammatory with MOG antibody positive >110,000. The patient improved after empiric steroids, plasma exchange, and IVIG.
