Background: Understanding nutrition's role in multiple sclerosis (MS) can guide recommendations and intervention-based studies.
Objective: Evaluate the association between nutrition and pediatric-onset MS outcomes.
Methods: Prospective longitudinal multicenter study conducted as part of the US Network of Pediatric MS centers.
Optic neuritis (ON) can present as the first demyelinating attack in both multiple sclerosis (MS) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), which may require different treatment depending on the final diagnosis. We present 2 young Hispanic women who presented with ON during pregnancy, one of whom was diagnosed with MS and the other with MOGAD. We describe key clinical features to help differentiate between MS and MOGAD including ON features, brain and spinal MRI, CSF profiles, and serum MOG and aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) antibodies, which all can help guide clinicians to an ultimate diagnosis.
