Abstract
Optic neuritis (ON) is a rare condition in the pediatric age group. Patients with optic neuritis can manifest with a wide range of drops in vision, ranging from mild loss to complete loss of vision. Knowing the cause of optic neuritis is an important point that will affect management and prognosis. Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (anti-MOG) antibody is an autoantibody that causes demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS). Treatment with a high dose of IV steroids followed by oral steroids is the best regimen that shows a favorable vision outcome. We aim to report this case of isolated optic neuritis with a positive anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoproteinantibody to highlight the prognosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein disease with isolated optic neuritis and how early diagnosis and treatment can affect the visual outcome.
