Abstract
The spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-Ab) associated demyelination is evolving. Our case report describes a unique clinical presentation of aseptic meningitis with demyelinating lesions of the brain resembling acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and MOG-Ab seropositivity. A 22-year-old lady presented with history of fever of one week duration followed by headache, vomiting and neck stiffness. She had bilateral papilledema and signs of meningeal irritation. Neuroimaging revealed T2 and FLAIR hyperintense lesions in the right caudate, temporal lobe and left insula with enhancement on gadolinium contrast along with leptomeningeal enhancement. An extensive search for infectious and inflammatory etiology was negative while serum was positive for MOG-Abs tested twice at an interval of 12 days. She showed remarkable clinical-radiological resolution with steroids and has remained symptom free on follow up.Entities:
