Short description of contents:

Background: Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disorders (MOGAD) are new emerging diseases with heterogeneous course, treatment, response, and prognosis. Case report: We herein present 2 cases with antibodies to MOG, one with a cerebellar/brainstem monophasic syndrome which partially improved after treatment, and the other with an optic neuritis onset then relapsed with cortical encephalitis and presented a subsequent complete recovery. We further discuss elements possibly associated with disease heterogeneity and influencing treatment choices. Conclusions: MOGAD is an extremely variable disease which can relapse and accumulate disability over time. An early diagnosis and correct timely treatment is fundamental to improve clinical outcome.
