Bilateral Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia: Multiple Sclerosis rather Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD)?

Increasing knowledge about neuro-inflammatory conditions as lead to new challenges in establishing a diagnosis. Clinical distinctive features might help. We present a 34-year-old patient with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (bINO). Investigation was compatible with demyelinating central nervous system (CNS) disease. Low-positive IgG myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies were found. Rituximab was started and the patient has remained without further clinical or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) activity. Acknowledging that bINO is a wellknown manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS) but rarely reported among MOGAD patients its occurrence might help distinguish MS from MOGAD in an apparent overlap setting, favoring MS.

Abstract

Increasing knowledge about neuro-inflammatory conditions as lead to new challenges in establishing a diagnosis. Clinical distinctive features might help. We present a 34-year-old patient with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (bINO). Investigation was compatible with demyelinating central nervous system (CNS) disease. Low-positive IgG myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies were found. Rituximab was started and the patient has remained without further clinical or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) activity. Acknowledging that bINO is a wellknown manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS) but rarely reported among MOGAD patients its occurrence might help distinguish MS from MOGAD in an apparent overlap setting, favoring MS.
