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.
