Frequency and Characteristics of Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody‐Associated Disease Accompanied by Fever: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Diagnostic pitfall in fever with CNS involvement: MOGAD. Fever accompanied by neurological symptoms was initially suspected as central nervous system infection. However, negative pathogen tests and failed anti‐infective therapy, followed by positive MOG‐IgG, led to a revised diagnosis of MOGAD. The patient responded favorably to corticosteroids or IVIG.

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1388-1397, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...
