Aquaporin 4 antibody (anti-AQP4) positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is known to occur in the setting of myasthenia gravis (MG). However, comorbid MG with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (anti-MOG) positive NMOSD has not been reported. We present a case of anti-MOG and anti-AQP4 positive NMOSD in a patient with long-standing MG. The patient presented with acute right-sided weakness with MRI demonstrating extensive spinal cord edema extending from T2 to the medulla with associated contrast enhancement. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of anti-MOG and anti-AQP4 positive NMOSD in a patient with known MG.
水通道蛋白4抗体(抗AQP4)阳性的视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)已知可发生于重症肌无力(MG)患者中。然而,合并重症肌无力的髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体(抗MOG)阳性的NMOSD尚未见报道。我们报告1例长期患有重症肌无力的抗MOG和抗AQP4阳性的NMOSD患者。该患者表现为急性右侧肢体无力,MRI显示广泛的脊髓水肿,从T2延伸至延髓,并伴有对比增强。据我们所知,这是首例已知患有重症肌无力的抗MOG和抗AQP4阳性的NMOSD病例。
