Author Response to Budhram, et al.

We would like to thank Budhram et  al. for their interest in our report, “A Stroke Mimic: Anti-MOG Antibody-Associated Disorder Presenting as Acute Hemiparesis.”1 As the authors pointed out,2 our patient resembles other cases that have been termed unilateral cortical FLAMES (FLAIR-hyperintense lesions in anti-MOG-associated enc ephalitis with seizures).3 In the initial description of unilateral cortical FLAMES, two pediatric patients were included in the literature review, one of whom did present with hemiparesis and lethargy.
