Bilateral Optic Neuritis Glycoprotein Antibody-associated Disease: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Optic neuritis (ON) is an entity defined by acute inflammation of the optic nerve that presents with a decrease in visual acuity, generally unilateral. Being a rare pathology in medicine, the purpose of this work is present a case of myelin-associated oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) since there are no controlled trials in large cohorts to guide the management of these patients. Case report: A 4-year-old male preschool patient presented with fever, vomiting, liquid stools and ataxia of 4 days of evolution that were self-limited. One month later he presented again with ataxia, eye pain and papilledema. Discussion: The most common phenotype in MOGAG disease is ON. Recurrences are a latent problem, so it is necessary to better understand the behavior of this pathology.
