A rare clinical phenotypeWhen used in reference to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoproten antibody disease (MOGAD), indicates the particular presentation or combination of symptoms an individual experiences based on the part of the central nervous system affected by MOGAD. of MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease , which usually begins with seizuresA sudden, temporary disturbance in brain activity that causes changes in behavior, movement, sensation, or consciousness, headaches, and fever. Sometimes there is only one-sided cerebral cortical inflammationA process of the immune system that involves chemicals released by immune cells (i.e. white blood cells) inducing localized heat, swelling, redness, and pain to an area that occurs when tissue becomes damaged or infected from a pathogen, and usually results in the desctruction and removal of the pathogen and/or healing to the tissue. In the case of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD), inflammation is the result of the incorrect targeting of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) by the immune system, resulting in damage to myelin sheaths. without any white matter inflammationA process of the immune system that involves chemicals released by immune cells (i.e. white blood cells) inducing localized heat, swelling, redness, and pain to an area that occurs when tissue becomes damaged or infected from a pathogen, and usually results in the desctruction and removal of the pathogen and/or healing to the tissue.

When caused by an autoimmune disease, sometimes called Autoimmune Encephalitis., stroke or infection.
