- Clinical and MRI measures to identify non-acute MOG-antibody disease in adults(2023) CORTESE, Rosa; BATTAGLINI, Marco; PRADOS, Ferran; BIANCHI, Alessia; HAIDER, Lukas; JACOB, Anu; PALACE, Jacqueline; MESSINA, Silvia; PAUL, Friedemann; WUERFEL, Jens; MARIGNIER, Romain; DURAND-DUBIEF, Francoise; RIMKUS, Carolina de Medeiros; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; SATO, Douglas Kazutoshi; FILIPPI, Massimo; ROCCA, Maria Assunta; CACCIAGUERRA, Laura; ROVIRA, Alex; SASTRE-GARRIGA, Jaume; ARRAMBIDE, Georgina; LIU, Yaou; DUAN, Yunyun; GASPERINI, Claudio; TORTORELLA, Carla; RUGGIERI, Serena; AMATO, Maria Pia; ULIVELLI, Monica; GROPPA, Sergiu; GROTHE, Matthias; LLUFRIU, Sara; SEPULVEDA, Maria; LUKAS, Carsten; BELLENBERG, Barbara; SCHNEIDER, Ruth; SOWA, Piotr; CELIUS, Elisabeth G.; PROEBSTEL, Anne-Katrin; YALDIZLI, Ozgur; MUELLER, Jannis; STANKOFF, Bruno; BODINI, Benedetta; CARMISCIANO, Luca; SORMANI, Maria Pia; BARKHOF, Frederik; STEFANO, Nicola De; CICCARELLI, OlgaMRI and clinical features of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-antibody disease may overlap with those of other inflammatory demyelinating conditions posing diagnostic challenges, especially in non-acute phases and when serologic testing for MOG antibodies is unavailable or shows uncertain results. We aimed to identify MRI and clinical markers that differentiate non-acute MOG-antibody disease from aquaporin 4 (AQP4)-antibody neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, guiding in the identification of patients with MOG-antibody disease in clinical practice. In this cross-sectional retrospective study, data from 16 MAGNIMS centres were included. Data collection and analyses were conducted from 2019 to 2021. Inclusion criteria were: diagnosis of MOG-antibody disease; AQP4-neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis; brain and cord MRI at least 6 months from relapse; and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score on the day of MRI. Brain white matter T-2 lesions, T-1-hypointense lesions, cortical and cord lesions were identified. Random forest models were constructed to classify patients as MOG-antibody disease/AQP4-neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder/multiple sclerosis; a leave one out cross-validation procedure assessed the performance of the models. Based on the best discriminators between diseases, we proposed a guide to target investigations for MOG-antibody disease. One hundred and sixty-two patients with MOG-antibody disease [99 females, mean age: 41 (+/- 14) years, median EDSS: 2 (0-7.5)], 162 with AQP4-neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [132 females, mean age: 51 (+/- 14) years, median EDSS: 3.5 (0-8)], 189 with multiple sclerosis (132 females, mean age: 40 (+/- 10) years, median EDSS: 2 (0-8)] and 152 healthy controls (91 females) were studied. In young patients (<34 years), with low disability (EDSS < 3), the absence of Dawson's fingers, temporal lobe lesions and longitudinally extensive lesions in the cervical cord pointed towards a diagnosis of MOG-antibody disease instead of the other two diseases (accuracy: 76%, sensitivity: 81%, specificity: 84%, P < 0.001). In these non-acute patients, the number of brain lesions < 6 predicted MOG-antibody disease versus multiple sclerosis (accuracy: 83%, sensitivity: 82%, specificity: 83%, P < 0.001). An EDSS < 3 and the absence of longitudinally extensive lesions in the cervical cord predicted MOG-antibody disease versus AQP4-neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (accuracy: 76%, sensitivity: 89%, specificity: 62%, P < 0.001). A workflow with sequential tests and supporting features is proposed to guide better identification of patients with MOG-antibody disease. Adult patients with non-acute MOG-antibody disease showed distinctive clinical and MRI features when compared to AQP4-neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis. A careful inspection of the morphology of brain and cord lesions together with clinical information can guide further analyses towards the diagnosis of MOG-antibody disease in clinical practice. In a multicentre MAGNIMS study, Cortese et al. show that brain and cord lesion characteristics on conventional MRI, together with clinical features, can help differentiate non-acute MOG-antibody disease from AQP4-NMOSD and multiple sclerosis, aiding identification of non-acute patients for MOG antibody testing.
- Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with a benign course. Analysis of 544 patients(2023) LANA-PEIXOTO, Marco A.; TALIM, Natalia C.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MARQUES, Vanessa Daccath; DAMASCENO, Alfredo; BECKER, Jefferson; GONCALVES, Marcus Vinicius Magno; SATO, HenryBackground: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) most commonly cause severe disability which is related to disease attacks. However, some patients retain good neurological function for a long time after disease onset.Objectives: To determine the frequency, demographic and the clinical features of good outcome NMOSD, and analyze their predictive factors.Methods: We selected patients who met the 2015 International Panel for NMOSD diagnostic criteria from seven MS Centers. Assessed data included age at disease onset, sex, race, number of attacks within the first and three years from onset, annualized relapsing rate (ARR), total number of attacks, aquaporin-IgG serum status, presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-specific oligoclonal bands (OCB) and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at the last follow-up visit. NMOSD was classified as non-benign if patients developed sustained EDSS score >3.0 during the disease course, or benign if patients had EDSS score <= 3.0 after >= 15 years from disease onset. Patients with EDSS <3.0 and disease duration shorter than 15 years were not qualified for classification. We compared the demographic and clinical characteristics of benign and non-benign NMOSD. Logistic regression analysis identified predictive factors of outcome.Results: There were 16 patients with benign NMOSD (3% of the entire cohort; 4.2% of those qualified for clas-sification; and 4.1% of those who tested positive for aquaporin 4-IgG), and 362 (67.7%) with non-benign NMOSD, whereas 157 (29.3%) did not qualify for classification. All patients with benign NMOSD were fe-male, 75% were Caucasian, 75% tested positive for AQP4-IgG, and 28.6% had CSF-specific OCB. Regression analysis showed that female sex, pediatric onset, and optic neuritis, area postrema syndrome, and brainstem symptoms at disease onset, as well as fewer relapses in the first year and three years from onset, and CSF-specific OCB were more commonly found in benign NMOSD, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. Conversely, non-Caucasian race (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.07-0.99; p = 0.038), myelitis at disease presentation (OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01-0.52; p <0.001), and high ARR (OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01-0.67; p = 0.011) were negative risk factors for benign NMOSD.Conclusion: Benign NMOSD is very rare and occurs more frequently in Caucasians, patients with low ARR, and those who do not have myelitis at disease onset.
- A comparative study of visual outcome in patients with optic neuritis treated with five or seven days of intravenous corticosteroid treatment(2023) SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; TERRIM, Sara; FALCAO, Fernando Cavalcantide Sa e Benevides; FALCA, Maria Alice Pimentel; CHAVES, Cleuber Esteves; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira; FORTINI, Ida; GONCALVES, Marcia Rubia Rodrigues; COMERLATTI, Luiz Roberto; CASTRO, Luiz Henrique Martins; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz RibeiroBackground: Optic neuritis (ON), a major cause of visual impairment in young adults, is generally associated with rapid visual recovery when treated with intravenous methylprednisolone treatment (IVMPT). However, the optimal duration of such treatment is unknown, ranging from three to seven days in clinical practice. We aimed to compare the visual recovery in patients treated with 5-day or 7-day duration IVMPT.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with ON in Sa similar to o Paulo, Brazil, from 2016 to 2021. We compared the proportion of participants with visual impairment in 5-day and 7-day treatment schedules at discharge, at 1 month and between 6 and 12 months after the diagnosis of ON. The findings were adjusted to age, severity of the visual impairment, co-intervention with plasma exchange, time from symptom onset to IVMPT and the etiology of the ON to mitigate indication bias.Results: We included 73 patients with ON treated with 5 or 7-day duration of 1 g/d intravenous methylprednisolone therapy. Visual impairment at 6-12 months in the 5-day or the 7-day treatment groups was similar (57% x 59%, p > 0.9, Odds Ratio 1.03 [95% CI 0.59-1.84]). The results were similar after adjusting for prognostic variables and when observed at different time points.Conclusion: Visual recovery is similar in patients treated with 5-day and 7-day duration treatments of 1 g/day intravenous methylprednisolone, suggesting a ceiling effect. Limiting the duration of the treatment can reduce hospital stay and costs, without interfering with clinical benefit.

- Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy Associated with Severe Anti-Mog (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein)-Positive Optic Neuritis(2023) FERNANDES, Rodrigo Dahia; ANDRADE, Thais de Souza; PRETI, Rony C. C.; ZACHARIAS, Leandro C. C.; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; LUCATO, Leandro Tavares; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira L. L.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz R.Retinal complications in patients with inflammatory optic neuritis (ON) are generally related to post-infectious neuroretinitis and are considered uncommon in autoimmune/demyelinating ON, whether isolated or caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). More recently, however, cases with retinal complications have been reported in subjects positive for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies. We report a 53-year-old woman presenting with severe bilateral ON associated with a focal area of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in one eye. Visual loss recovered remarkably after high-dose intravenous corticosteroid treatment and plasmapheresis, but the PAMM lesion remained visible on both optical coherence tomography and angiography as an ischaemic lesion affecting the middle layers of the retina. The report emphasises the possible occurrence of retinal vascular complications in MOG-related optic neuritis, an important addition to the diagnosis of, and possible differentiation from, MS-related or NMOSD-related ON.
- Immunoglobulin A Antibodies Against Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein in a Subgroup of Patients With Central Nervous System Demyelination(2023) GOMES, Ana Beatriz Ayroza Galvao Ribeiro; KULSVEHAGEN, Laila; LIPPS, Patrick; CAGOL, Alessandro; CERDA-FUERTES, Nuria; NEZIRAJ, Tradite; FLAMMER, Julia; LERNER, Jasmine; LECOURT, Anne-Catherine; SIEBENBORN, Nina De Oliveira S.; CORTESE, Rosa; SCHAEDELIN, Sabine; SCHOEPS, Vinicius Andreoli; MATOS, Aline de Moura Brasil; MENDES, Natalia Trombini; PEREIRA, Clarissa dos Reis; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz Ribeiro; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira Luisa dos; SCHINDLER, Patrick; CHIEN, Claudia; SCHWAKE, Carolin; SCHNEIDER, Ruth; PAKEERATHAN, Thivya; AKTAS, Orhan; FISCHER, Urs; MEHLING, Matthias; DERFUSS, Tobias; KAPPOS, Ludwig; AYZENBERG, Ilya; RINGELSTEIN, Marius; PAUL, Friedemann; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; KUHLE, Jens; PAPADOPOULOU, Athina; GRANZIERA, Cristina; PROBSTEL, Anne-KatrinIMPORTANCE Differential diagnosis of patients with seronegative demyelinating central nervous system (CNS) disease is challenging. In this regard, evidence suggests that immunoglobulin (Ig) A plays a role in the pathogenesis of different autoimmune diseases. Yet little is known about the presence and clinical relevance of IgA antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in CNS demyelination. OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of MOG-IgA and associated clinical features in patients with demyelinating CNS disease and healthy controls. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This longitudinal study comprised 1 discovery and 1 confirmation cohort derived from 5 centers. Participants included patients with suspected or confirmed demyelinating diseases and healthy controls. MOG-IgA, MOG-IgG, and MOG-IgM were measured in serum samples and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients, who were assessed from September 2012 to April 2022. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Frequency and clinical features of patients who were seropositive for MOG-IgA and double-seronegative for aquaporin 4 (AQP4) IgG and MOG-IgG. RESULTS After the exclusion of 5 participants with coexisting AQP4-IgG and MOG-IgA, MOG-IgG, and/or MOG-IgM, 1339 patients and 110 healthy controls were included; the median follow-up time was 39 months (range, 0-227 months). Of included patients with isolated MOG-IgA, 11 of 18 were female (61%), and the median age was 31.5 years (range, 3-76 years). Among patients double-seronegative for AQP4-IgG and MOG-IgG (1126/1339; 84%), isolated MOG-IgA was identified in 3 of 50 patients (6%) with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, 5 of 228 patients (2%) with other CNS demyelinating diseases, and 10 of 848 patients (1%) with multiple sclerosis but in none of the healthy controls (0/110). The most common disease manifestation in patients seropositive for isolated MOG-IgA was myelitis (11/17 [65%]), followed by more frequent brainstem syndrome (7/16 [44%] vs 14/75 [19%], respectively; P =.048), and infrequent manifestation of optic neuritis (4/15 [27%] vs 46/73 [63%], respectively; P =.02) vs patients with MOG-IgG. Among patients fulfilling 2017 McDonald criteria for multiple sclerosis, MOG-IgA was associated with less frequent CSF-specific oligoclonal bands (4/9 [44%] vs 325/351 [93%], respectively; P <.001) vs patients with multiple sclerosis who were MOG-IgG/IgA seronegative. Further, most patients with isolated MOG-IgA presented clinical attacks after recent infection or vaccination (7/11 [64%]). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In this study, MOG-specific IgA was identified in a subgroup of patients who were double-seronegative for AQP4-/MOG-IgG, suggesting that MOG-IgA may be a novel diagnostic biomarker for patients with CNS demyelination.

Petzold proposed diagnostic criteria for ON in 2022, although real-world application of these criteria is missing. We conducted a retrospective review of patients with ON. We classified patients into definite or possible ON, and into groups A (typical neuritis), B (painless), or C (binocular) and estimated the frequency of etiologies for each group. We included 77 patients, with 62% definite and 38% possible ON. CRION and NMOSD-AQP4 negative-ON were less commonly seen in definite ON. Application of the 2022 criteria revealed a lower-than-expected frequency of definite ON, particularly for seronegative non-MS causes.
