Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment is a significant issue in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disease (MOGAD), with a study showing that about 21.9% of patients experience cognitive deficits, particularly in mental flexibility and attention.
- The study involved 32 MOGAD patients and analyzed clinical factors like age and previous relapses, finding that the overall number of relapses and past episodes of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) were linked to increased cognitive impairment risk.
- MRI results indicated that patients with MOGAD had reduced white and deep gray matter volumes compared to healthy controls, highlighting potential neurological damage in this condition.
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a neuroinflammatory disease. The majority of NMOSD patients is seropositive for aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies. AQP4 is the main water channel protein in the central nervous system, but has also been identified in the female reproductive system.
