Key Points

To illustrate a rare and severe case of pediatric encephalitis associated with MOG antibodies.
Descriptive case report of pediatric encephalitis
Focus on neurological symptoms and imaging findings
Evaluation of MOG-IgG antibodies
Patient exhibited bilateral cytotoxic edema on imaging
Severe presentation led to significant clinical concerns
MOG-IgG antibodies were confirmed in the patient

Implication

Case highlights severe bilateral cytotoxic edema in pediatric cerebral cortical encephalitis, implying a rare presentation.

Abstract

We highlight a rare case with severe myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG-associated cerebral cortical encephalitis (CCE) presenting as bilateral cytotoxic edema.
