Some patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-like symptoms test negative for anti-aquaporin-4 (anti-AQP4) antibodies. Among them, a subset has antibodies targeting myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a condition now termed MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). MOGAD shares features with NMOSD, like optic neuritis and myelitis, but differs in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and biomarkers.

Deep learning MRI models for the differential diagnosis of tumefactive demyelination versus -wildtype glioblastoma.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology (GMC, MM, YN, BJE), Department of Quantitative Health Sciences (PAD, MLK, JEEP), Department of Neurology (CBM, JAS, MWR, FSG, HKP, DHL, WOT), Department of Neurosurgery (TCB), Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (RBJ), and Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurology (WOT), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; Dell Medical School (MFE), University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA.

Background And Purpose: Diagnosis of tumefactive demyelination can be challenging. The diagnosis of indeterminate brain lesions on MRI often requires tissue confirmation via brain biopsy. Noninvasive methods for accurate diagnosis of tumor and non-tumor etiologies allows for tailored therapy, optimal tumor control, and a reduced risk of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality.

The Importance of Bright Spotty Lesions on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Predicting Chronic Neuropathic Pain in Myelitis.

J Clin Med

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Ajou University Medical Center, Ajou University, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea.

: Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) stands as one of the most debilitating complications in patients with myelitis owing to its challenging management. Bright spotty lesions (BSLs) are frequently observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), but few reports have discussed CNP in myelitis. We aim to demonstrate that BSLs could be one of the potential prognostic factors for CNP development in myelitis.

Clinical and immunological features in patients with neuroimmune complications of COVID-19 during Omicron wave in China: a case series.

Front Immunol

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and Institute of Neurology, Fudan University, National Center for Neurological Disorders, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: This study aimed to present clinical and immunological features in patients with neuroimmune complications of COVID-19 during Omicron wave in China.

Methods: Patients with neuroimmune complications associated with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed in Huashan Hospital from December 2022 to April 2023, during the widespread prevalence of Omicron variants in China. Demographic information, symptoms, electrophysiological findings, cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) test results and immunological markers, Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.

Introduction: Longitudinally extensive spinal cord lesions (LESCL) are characterized by T2-hyperintense signals spanning at least three vertebral body segments, with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) being a significant cause. This study aimed to characterize the clinical, radiological, serological, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) features of LESCL and to compare NMOSD and non-NMOSD cases.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of adult patients diagnosed with LESCL at our center over a twelve-year period collecting data on demographics, clinical presentations, MRI findings, CSF analysis, and serological testing for AQP4-IgG and MOG-IgG antibodies.
