What's new in NMOSD and MOGAD?

ABSTRACT

In this mini-review, we focus on novelties in the field of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease (MOGAD). We first describe the proposed criteria for MOGAD and evaluate their impact and potential limitations, with a highlight on the subgroups of patients tested MOG-antibody positive only in the cerebrospinal fluid. We then propose a brief state of the art on the current knowledge on the so-call "double seronegative" NMOSD group, regarding nosology, clinical, biological and imaging features and the unmet need in this field. The last part is dedicating to the present and future of acute treatment in NMSOD and MOGAD.
