Practical recognition tools of immunoglobulin G serum antibodies against the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein‐positive optic neuritis and its clinical implications
In this review, we discuss the clinical and paraclinical features of immunoglobulin G serum antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein‐positive optic neuritis in adults, and focus on the distinctive features that can enable its early diagnosis. Therapeutical considerations at the acute stage and for relapse prevention are further deliberated. AbstractMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) ‐associated disease is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, associated with the presence of immunoglobulin G serum antibodies against MOG. Recent data have allowed characterization of the clinical spe...

Treatment of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G–associated disease
This review summarizes the current understanding of acute and chronic treatments for MOGAD. Timing and duration of treatment, pregnancy, and emerging therapies are also discussed. AbstractMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) immunoglobulin G (IgG)–associated disease (MOGAD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct nosological entity from aquaporin‐4 antibody IgG–positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4‐IgG NMOSD). The advent of highly specific MOG‐IgG cell‐based diagnostic assays have helped to refine our un derstanding of the clinical spectrum of MOGAD. To date, treatment approaches have be...

Circulating inflammatory cytokine levels correlates with cognitive impairment
ConclusionThe TNF ‐α and IL‐6 levels are significantly higher in patients with moderate‐severe stage of AD. Inflammatory cytokine levels might predict the cognitive impairment severity in AD patients. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology)

Magnetic resonance imaging of Bal ó’s concentric sclerosis: Literature review and presentation of two focused cases
This review aims to describe two cases of Bal ò’s Concentric Sclerosis (BCS) and to review the state‐of‐the‐art literature. Through the analysis of current imaging practice, our purpose is to help clinicians reach early diagnosis, thus enhancing the chances of a more successful outcome for the patients. AbstractThe aim of this study was to describe two cases of Bal ó’s concentric sclerosis, and to review the state‐of‐the‐art literature. This dissertation is the result of a critical analysis matching the literature and our professional experience. Data were synthesized into a narrative review. BCS is often...

Voltage ‐gated potassium channel complex (VGKC) antibody encephalitis in a Filipino adult: A reversible cause of early‐onset neurocognitive disorder
ConclusionThis case highlights VGKC antibody encephalitis as an important diagnostic consideration in patients presenting with subacute onset of memory loss, behavioral changes, and seizures. With prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, neurocognitive changes can be potentially reversed. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology)
