Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease has been proposed as a separate inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) since the discovery of pathogenic antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-IgG). Antibodies targeting contactin-associated protein-like 2 (Caspr2), a component of voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex, have been documented to be associated with a novel autoimmune synaptic encephalitis with a low incidence. Herein, we reported an adult female with initial presentation of decreased vision in the right eye and subsequent episodes of neuropsychiatric disturbance including hypersomnia, agitation, apatheia, and memory impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple lesions scattered in brain, brainstem, and cervical and thoracic spinal cord, showing hypointensity on T1-weighted images, hyperintensity on T2-weighted and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. Heterogenous patchy or ring-like enhancement was observed in the majority of lesions. The detection of low-titer MOG-IgG exclusively in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; titer, 1:1) and Caspr2-IgG in both serum and CSF (titers, 1:100 and 1:1) led to a possible diagnosis...Continue Reading
