Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Optic neuritis (ON) is the most common clinical manifestation of MOGAD in adults. In 2023, new MOGAD diagnostic criteria were proposed, highlighting the importance of supplemental criteria when MOG-immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers are unavailable. ⋯ All patients with a clinical diagnosis of MOG-ON in our cohort fulfilled the 2023 MOGAD criteria despite the lack of antibody titers. The 2023 MOGAD criteria can be reliably applied to Israeli cohorts, prior to availability of MOGAD IgG titers, with particular attention to additional supplemental criteria. Since the 2023 MOGAD criteria were published, MOGAD IgG titers have been added to routine testing at our facility.
