ICU-Admitted Pediatric MOGAD: High Rate of Elevated ICP on MRI

Neurocritical careyesterday

MRI of pediatric MOGAD patients admitted to the ICU frequently reveals elevated intracranial pressure, with 12 of 37 showing imaging evidence; 4 had herniation or cerebral shift.

  • Among the ICU patients, 16 were intubated (median 3 days), and 27 underwent continuous EEG monitoring; no specific EEG biomarker for MOGAD was observed.
  • This was a single-center retrospective chart review, which may limit generalizability.
