ABSTRACT
In the past 20 years, the concept of antibody mediated demyelinating disorders have emerged. These diseases, namely Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte (MOG)- antibody associated disease (MOGAD), share common features with multiple sclerosis, but are fundamentally different in terms of pathophysiology, disease course and treatment. In this lecture we will provide a clinical, biological and imaging description of these two entities, and propose a focus on the features that helps to differentiate in between these conditions.
