    (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 Ribeiro
    Background: 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.

    Quantification of Retinal Neural Loss in Patients with Neuromyelitis Optica and Multiple Sclerosis with or without Optic Neuritis Using Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
    (2012) MONTEIRO, Mario L. R.; FERNANDES, Danilo B.; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira L.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto
    PURPOSE. We compared retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular thickness measurements in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) with or without a history of optic neuritis, and in controls using Fourier-domain (FD) optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS. Patients with MS (n = 60), NMO (n = 33), longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM, n = 28) and healthy controls (n = 41) underwent ophthalmic examination, including automated perimetry, and FD-OCT RNFL and macular thickness measurements. Five groups of eyes were compared: MS with or without previous optic neuritis, NMO, LETM, and controls. Correlation between OCT and visual field (VF) findings was investigated. RESULTS. With regard to most parameters, RNFL and macular thickness measurements were significantly smaller in eyes of each group of patients compared to controls. MS eyes with optic neuritis did not differ significantly from MS eyes without optic neuritis, but measurements were smaller in NMO eyes than in all other groups. RNFL (but not macular thickness) measurements were significantly smaller in LETM eyes than in controls. While OCT abnormalities were correlated significantly with VF loss in NMO/LETM and MS, the correlation was much stronger in the former. CONCLUSIONS. Although FD-OCT RNFL and macular thickness measurements can reveal subclinical or optic neuritis-related abnormalities in NMO-spectrum and MS patients, abnormalities are predominant in the macula of MS patients and in RFNL measurements in NMO patients. The correlation between OCT and VF abnormalities was stronger in NMO than in MS, suggesting the two conditions differ regarding structural and functional damage.

    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).

    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-Katrin
    IMPORTANCE 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.

    Real-world application of the 2022 diagnostic criteria for first-ever episode of optic neuritis
    (2023) TERRIM, Sara; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; FALCAO, Fernando Cavalcanti de Sa e Benevides; PEREIRA, Clarissa dos Reis; BENASSI, Thais de Souza Andrade; FORTINI, Ida; GONCALVES, Marcia Rubia Rodrigues; CASTRO, Luiz Henrique Martins; COMERLATTI, Luiz Roberto; RIMKUS, Carolina de Medeiros; ADONI, Tarso; PEREIRA, Samira Luisa Apostolos; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto
    Optic neuritis (ON) admits diverse differential diagnoses. 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.

    Comparison of Visual Evoked Potentials in Patients Affected by Optic Neuritis From Multiple Sclerosis or Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
    (2022) FILGUEIRAS, Thiago G.; OYAMADA, Maria K.; HOKAZONO, Kenzo; CUNHA, Leonardo P.; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira L.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MONTEIRO, Mario L. R.
    Purpose: To compare the visual evoked potentials (VEPs) of optic neuritis (ON) patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and controls. To evaluate correlations between VEP and optical coherence tomography (OCT), contrast sensitivity (CS), and automated perimetry. Methods: Fifty-five eyes with ON from 29 patients (MS = 14 and NMOSD = 15) and 57 eyes from 29 controls were evaluated using VEP, automated perimetry, CS, and optical coherence tomography. Three groups were analyzed: 1) MS eyes with history of ON (ON-MS), 2) NMOSD eyes with ON (ON-NMOSD), and 3) healthy controls. Groups were compared and associations between the parameters were tested. Results: Compared to controls, ON-MS eyes showed significantly delayed N75 and P100 latencies when using a medium-sized stimulus (30 '), and delayed P100 latency when using a large stimulus (1.5 degrees), but similar amplitudes. Compared to controls, ON-NMOSD eyes showed significantly lower N75/P100 amplitudes (both stimulus sizes) and P100/N135 amplitudes (with the 30 ' stimulus), but latencies did not differ, except for a delayed P100 latency with the 30 ' stimulus. When comparing the 2 ON groups using the 1.5 degrees stimulus, there was significant delay in P100 latency in ON-MS eyes and a reduction in N75/P100 amplitude in ON-NMOSD eyes. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, macular inner retinal layers, and CS measurements were significantly smaller in ON patients than in controls. A strong correlation was found between VEP parameters and inner retinal layer thickness in ON-NMOSD eyes. Conclusions: ON-MS eyes had normal amplitude and delayed VEP latency, whereas ON-NMOSD eyes displayed reduced amplitude and preserved latency when elicited by checkerboard stimulus with large 1.5 degrees checks. Under such conditions, VEP may help distinguish resolved MS-related ON from resolved NMOSD-related ON.

    Outer Retinal Dysfunction on Multifocal Electroretinography May Help Differentiating Multiple Sclerosis From Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
    (2019) FILGUEIRAS, Thiago G.; OYAMADA, Maria K.; PRETI, Rony C.; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira L.; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MONTEIRO, Mario L. R.
    Purpose: To evaluate the intermediate and outer retina of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) using OCT and multifocal electroretinography (mf-ERG). Methods: Patients with MS (n = 30), NMOSD (n = 30), and healthy controls (n = 29) underwent visual field (VF), OCT, and mt-ERG testing. The eyes were distributed into 5 groups: MS with or without history of ON (MS+ON, MS-ON), NMOSD with or without ON (NMOSD+ON, NMOSD-ON), and controls. The thickness of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer, and photoreceptor layer was measured. mf-ERG P1 and N1 responses were registered and grouped in 3 sets of rings. The groups were compared using GEE models, and effect size (ES) calculated. Results: Compared to controls, GCL and IPL thickness was significantly smaller in MS+ON (both p < 0.01), MS-ON (p < 0.01 and p = 0.015, respectively), NMOSD+ON (both p < 0.01) and NMOSD-ON (p = 0.03 and p = 0.018, respectively). ES was >0.80. mRNFL was smaller in three of the above groups (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, and p = 0.028; ES > 0.80) but not in MS-ON eyes (p = 0.18). No significant difference was observed for the remaining layers. Compared to controls, P1 and N1 peak times were shorter in MS (p-values in the range 0.049-0.002, ES < 0.50; and 0.049-0.010; ES < 0.50, respectively) but not in NMOSD. These abnormalities were strongly correlated with intermediate and outer retinal layer thickness. Conclusions: mf-ERG data suggest outer retinal abnormalities in MS, but not in NMOSD. Our results may help understand how the two conditions differ regarding retinal damage.

    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.

    Comparison of Visual Acuity and Automated Perimetry Findings in Patients With Neuromyelitis Optica or Multiple Sclerosis After Single or Multiple Attacks of Optic Neuritis
    (2012) FERNANDES, Danilo B.; RAMOS, Renata de Iracema P.; FALCOCHIO, Carolina; APOSTOLOS-PEREIRA, Samira; CALLEGARO, Dagoberto; MONTEIRO, Mario Luiz Ribeiro
    Objective: To review the clinical characteristics of patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and to compare their visual outcome with those of patients with optic neuritis (ON) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Thirty-three patients with NMO underwent neuro-ophthalmic evaluation, including automated perimetry along with 30 patients with MS. Visual function in both groups was compared overall and specifically for eyes after a single episode of ON. Results: Visual function and average visual field (VF) mean deviation were significantly worse in eyes of patients with NMO. After a single episode of ON, the VF was normal in only 2 of 36 eyes of patients with NMO compared to 17 of 35 eyes with MS (P < 0.001). The statistical analysis indicated that after a single episode of ON, the odds ratio for having NMO was 6.0 (confidence interval [CI]: 1.6-21.9) when VF mean deviation was worse than -20.0 dB while the odds ratio for having MS was 16.0 (CI: 3.6-68.7) when better than -3.0 dB. Conclusion: Visual outcome was significantly worse in NMO than in MS. After a single episode of ON, suspicion of NMO should be raised in the presence of severe residual VF deficit with automated perimetry and lowered in the case of complete VF recovery.
