Article Synopsis
- MOGAD is usually linked to inflammation and demyelination in younger people, but this case shows it can also cause isolated encephalitis in older adults, like an 80-year-old male with cognitive issues and seizures.
- Despite normal imaging results, the patient had elevated MOG antibodies and pleocytosis in cerebrospinal fluid, pointing towards MOG antibody encephalitis.
- Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin led to significant cognitive improvement and a reduction in antibody levels, highlighting the need for awareness of MOGAD in elderly patients to improve outcomes.
