Abstract
Recently, several case series have described pediatric patients presenting with new onset focal seizures together with relapsing fever and cortical T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in association with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies, in adults known as unilateral cortical fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintense lesions in anti- MOG-associated encephalitis with seizures (FLAMES).
