Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2-lesions resolve more often in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) than aquaporin-4 IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4 + NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults but few studies analyzed children.
The main objective of this study is to investigate MRI T2-lesion evolution in pediatric MOGAD, AQP4 + NMOSD, and MS.
Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) first clinical attack; (2) abnormal MRI (⩽6 weeks); (3) follow-up MRI beyond 6 months without relapses in that region; and (4) age < 18 years. An index T2-lesion (symptomatic/largest) was identified, and T2-lesion resolution or persistence on follow-up MRI was determined.
We included 56 patients (MOGAD, 21; AQP4 + NMOSD, 8; MS, 27) with 69 attacks. Index T2-lesion resolution was more frequent in MOGAD (brain 9 of 15 [60%]; spine 8 of 12 [67%]) than AQP4 + NMOSD (brain 1 of 4 [25%]; spine 0 of 7 [0%]) and MS (brain 0 of 18 [0%]; spine 1 of 13 [8%]), < 0.01. Resolution of all T2-lesions occurred more often in MOGAD (brain 6 of 15 [40%]; spine 7 of 12 [58%]) than AQP4 + NMOSD (brain 1 of 4 [25%]; spine 0 of 7 [0%]), and MS (brain 0 of 18 [0%]; spine 1 of 13 [8%]), < 0.01. Reductions in median index T2-lesion area were greater in MOGAD (brain, 305 mm; spine, 23 mm) than MS (brain, 42 mm [<0.001]; spine, 10 mm [<0.001]) without differing from AQP4 + NMOSD (brain, 133 mm [=0.42]; spine, 19.5 mm [=0.69]).
In children, MRI T2-lesions resolved more often in MOGAD than AQP4 + NMOSD and MS which is similar to adults suggesting these differences are related to pathogenesis rather than age.
与水通道蛋白 4 免疫球蛋白阳性视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(AQP4+NMOSD)和多发性硬化症(MS)相比,磁共振成像(MRI)T2 病变在髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)抗体相关性疾病(MOGAD)中更常消退,而在成人中很少有研究分析儿童。
本研究的主要目的是研究儿科 MOGAD、AQP4+NMOSD 和 MS 的 MRI T2 病变演变。
纳入标准如下:(1)首发临床发作;(2)异常 MRI(⩽6 周);(3)在该区域无复发的情况下,随访 MRI 时间超过 6 个月;(4)年龄<18 岁。确定了一个索引 T2 病变(症状性/最大),并确定随访 MRI 上 T2 病变的消退或持续存在。
我们纳入了 56 名患者(MOGAD,21 名;AQP4+NMOSD,8 名;MS,27 名),共 69 次发作。MOGAD(脑 15 例中有 9 例[60%];脊柱 12 例中有 8 例[67%])的索引 T2 病变消退比 AQP4+NMOSD(脑 4 例中有 1 例[25%];脊柱 7 例中有 0 例[0%])和 MS(脑 18 例中有 0 例[0%];脊柱 13 例中有 1 例[8%])更频繁,<0.01。MOGAD(脑 15 例中有 6 例[40%];脊柱 12 例中有 7 例[58%])的所有 T2 病变消退的频率高于 AQP4+NMOSD(脑 4 例中有 1 例[25%];脊柱 7 例中有 0 例[0%])和 MS(脑 18 例中有 0 例[0%];脊柱 13 例中有 1 例[8%]),<0.01。MOGAD(脑,305 毫米;脊柱,23 毫米)的中位指数 T2 病变面积减少大于 MS(脑,42 毫米[<0.001];脊柱,10 毫米[<0.001]),但与 AQP4+NMOSD(脑,133 毫米[=0.42];脊柱,19.5 毫米[=0.69])无差异。
在儿童中,MOGAD 比 AQP4+NMOSD 和 MS 更常出现 MRI T2 病变消退,这与成人相似,提示这些差异与发病机制有关,而与年龄无关。
