Abstract

Despite the commonly observed association of anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies with bilateral optic neuritis, their connection to uveitis is largely unexplored. The presented case involves a 41-year-old male with uveitis and bilateral optic neuritis, subsequently diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). This case, characterized by bilateral optic neuritis associated to anti-MOG antibodies and the concurrent onset of unilateral anterior uveitis, provides further evidence concerning the features of intraocular inflammation in MOGAD. The patient’s treatment response, including the use of rituximab due to contraindications to oral steroids, emphasizes the importance of personalized management strategies in MOGAD-associated ocular manifestations.
