Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE PRESENTATION: This contribution presents a unique case report of a young male patient exhibiting relapsing myelitis with normal spinal cord and brain magnetic resonance imaging. Comprehensive diagnostic assessment revealed myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein- IgG-associated disorder. CONCLUSION: MOGAD is one of the conditions which should be considered in MRI-negative myelitis. The diagnosis, however, may prove difficult, especially if the patient is not exhibiting other neurological symptoms of MOGAD. Conus or epiconus involvement is common in MOGAD; the patient reported herein exhibited incomplete rostral epiconus symptoms which, together with somatosensory evoked potential abnormalities, led to the diagnosis.
