van Lint M, de Keizer RJW. Peripapillary edema in anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated optic neuropathy. Int J Case Rep Images 2022;13(2):39–44.ABSTRACT
Introduction: We report the peripapillary location of optic disc edema in four patients with anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-associated optic neuropathy.
Case Report: Retrospective case report on four patients. The optic disc edema is initially concentrated in the peripapillary region.
Conclusion: In case of anti-MOG-associated optic neuropathy, our cases demonstrate an optic disc edema that is localized mostly around the edges of the optic nerve. Recognizing this particular feature may aid in a speedy diagnosis and prevent a misdiagnosis of another condition.
Keywords: Anti-MOG, Optic disc edema, Optic neuropathy, Optic perineuritis
