Happy to share Laura Cacciaguerra et al study of #MOGAD lesion changes during attacks: ➡️ 10% of attacks have an initial normal MRI (radiologic lag) ➡️ MRI more dynamic than in #MS or #NMOSD with T2-Lesions often appearing & sometimes resolving within attacks👇neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Check out this great case by Drs Syc-Mazurek & Zhao-Fleming Mayo Clinic Neurology Residency reporting #MOGAD with melanoma exacerbated by immune checkpoint inhibition ➡️ IL-6 blockade with tocilizumab worked perfectly for #MOGAD without reducing anti-tumor immune response👇neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX…

MOGAD may be monophasic, where only one attack occurs, or it can be multiphasic, meaning additional attacks (or relapses) occur. It is a life-long disease but can be managed with preventative treatment.
