Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease presenting as recurrent acute disseminated encephalomyelitis: Case report of the youngest Mexican patient in the literature

Abstract Background Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease is an emerging demyelinating condition distinct from neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis affecting both children and adults with a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from optic neuritis, myelitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Case report We describe the case of a 2 year‐old girl diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease presenting as recurrent acute disseminated encephalomyelitis who showed suppression of disease activity after treatment with rituximab. This case represents the youngest Mexican patient with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease reported to date. Conclusions Information regarding the clinical presentation and evolution among different population could help to a better understanding of the presentation of this entity.
