Purpose: To report a case of retinal edema and retinal hemorrhage in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-immunoglobulin G (IgG) positive optic neuritis.
Case summary: A 49-year-old male visited the clinic due to decreased vision and eye pain in the left eye after 2 times of right eye and 1 time of left eye optic neuritis. The patient presented with eyelid swelling and retinal hemorrhage as well as optic disc swelling of the left eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed parafoveal intraretinal fluid. The patient received the intravenous high-dose steroids and the immune globulin therapy. He was then put on maintenance oral steroids and immunosuppressive agents. After the treatment, the best corrected visual acuity of left eye was improved to 0.2. Retinal hemorrhage and retinal edema of the left eye decreased, and optic nerve pale in both eyes was observed. OCT showed overall atrophy of the retinal nerve fiber layer in both eyes.
Conclusions: Some patient with MOG-IgG positive optic neuritis will have eyelid swelling or retinal edema that is necessary to be differentiated from eyelid inflammatory disorder or macular disease such as diabetic retinopathy. Thus, clinician should consider MOG-IgG positive optic neuritis in patients with retinal edema when accompanied by eye pain with severe vision loss or repeated disc swelling. When diagnosed with MOG-IgG positive optic neuritis, a combined treatment of relatively long-term steroid treatment and immunosuppressants may be required.
