Abstract
Introduction: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-IgG) associated disorders present with a spectrum of clinical pictures including brainstem involvement. Case report: A patient with the sudden onset of a post-partum severe rhombencephalitis causing respiratory failure (12 years after a mild transverse myelitis). Despite the aggressive clinical course, she had an impressive recovery after plasmapheresis, and no further relapses on immunosuppression. Conclusion: MOG-IgG disorders could relapse several years after onset and involve brainstem. Good prognosis is possible after treatment.
