Table 2. Red flags and suggestive features in MOG-IgG myelitis.

Clinical red flags Suggestive clinical manifestations
1. Residual severe paraplegia after a single myelitis attack 1. Good motor recovery
2. Rapid severe deficit (≤4 h to nadir deficit) 2. Predominant residual sphincter dysfunction
3. Slowly progressive myelopathy in the absence of an attack
Radiological red flags Suggestive radiological findings
1. Cord atrophy after a single attack 1. Conus involvement
2. Presence of “brighter spotty lesion” 2. Central cord preference and formation of the H-sign
3. Persistent enhancement 3. Complete lesion resolution at follow-up

MOG-IgG, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies.
