Vertebral segments

A spinal segment made up of two vertebrae attached together by ligaments, with a soft disc separating them. In MOGADOften referred to as MOGAD, Anti-MOG, MOG Ab+, MOG Antibody Disease, MOG Associated Antibody Disease, MOG positive disease  , the vertebrae segment region and number is used to describe the location of a lesionIn relation to MOGAD, an area of damage or scarring in the central nervous system. It is caused by inflammation that results from the immune system attacking the myelin sheath around nerves. Lesions can be found on the brain, spine, or optic nerves. or 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. caused by the disease process.
