Abstract
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare cause of NORSE. We describe the case of a young girl who presented with NORSE associated with MOGAD along with a systematic review of all cases of NORSE associated with MOGAD till date. Seizures associated with MOGAD are usually associated with good outcome but can occasionally be catastrophic and non-responsive to conventional therapies. Early initiation of anti-IL6 therapies might help improve outcomes in such patients.
