Astrocytoma with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated encephalomyelitis: A case report

ABSTRACT: Background: Demyelination is similar with malignancy in clinical symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important auxiliary examination in the diagnosis of demyelinating diseases and malignancy. Since MRI and symptoms can be difficult to distinguish demyelination from malignancy, other auxiliary examinations, such as demyelinating disease-specific antibodies, play an important role in distinguishing them. Previous studies have reported demyelinating disease-specific antibodies in patients with malignancy. What’s more, it is more difficult to confirm the diagnosis when the malignant tumor co-occurs with demyelinating diseases, which has never been reported in previous studies. We report the diagnosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated encephalomyelitis (MOG
