    Anti-MOG (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein)-Positive Severe Optic Neuritis with Optic Disc Ischaemia and Macular Star
    (2015) MOURA, Frederico Castelo; SATO, Douglas Kazutoshi; RIMKUS, Carolina Medeiros; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira Luisa; OLIVEIRA, Luana Michelli de; LEITE, Claudia Costa; FUJIHARA, Kazuo; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz Ribeiro; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto
    A 44-year-old man presented with severe right visual loss. The right fundus examination showed marked optic disc oedema associated with partial macular star. Serological blood tests for infectious agents were all negative. Serum aquaporin-4 antibody was negative but anti-MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) was positive. Magnetic resonance revealed extensive lesion in right optic nerve. There was no visual improvement after intravenous therapy. Patient had no further attacks after follow-up. Optic disc oedema with macular star is found in several infectious and non-inflammatory disorders, but it has not been reported in optic neuritis (ON) associated with autoantibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-MOG).

    Optical coherence tomography evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer in longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis
    (2011) MOURA, Frederico C.; FERNANDES, Danilo B.; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira L.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MARCHIORI, Paulo E.; MONTEIRO, Mario L. R.
    Objective: To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) of healthy controls and patients with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) without previous optic neuritis. Method: Twenty-six eyes from 26 patients with LETM and 26 control eyes were subjected to automated perimetry and OCT for comparison of RNFL measurements. Results: The mean deviation values from perimetry were significantly lower in patients with LETM than in controls (p<0.0001). RNFL measurements in the nasal quadrant and in the 3-o'clock segment were significantly smaller in LETM eyes than in controls. (p=0.04 and p=0.006, respectively). No significantly differences in other RNFL measurements were found. Conclusion: Patients with LETM may present localized RNFL loss, particularly on the nasal side of the optic disc, associated with slight visual field defects, even in the absence of previous episodes of optic neuritis. These findings emphasize the fact that patients with LETM may experience attacks of subclinical optic nerve damage.
