ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Relatively little is known about how global and regional brain volumes changes in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) compare with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and healthy controls (HC). OBJECTIVE: To compare global and regional brain volumes in MOGAD, MS, NMOSD, and HC cross-sectionally as well as longitudinally in a subset of patients. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all adult MOGAD and NMOSD patients with brain MRI performed in stable remission and compared them with MS patients and HC. Volumetric parameters were assessed using the FDA-approved icobrain software. adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS: Twenty-four MOGAD, 47 NMOSD, 40 MS patients, and 37 HC were included in the cross-sectional analyses. Relative to HC, the age-adjusted whole brain (WB) volume was significantly lower in patients with MOGAD (p=0.0002), NMOSD (p=0.042), and MS (p=0.01). Longitudinal analysis of a subset of 8 MOGAD, 22 NMOSD, and 34 MS patients showed a reduction in the WB and cortical gray matter (CGM) volumes over time in all three disease groups, without statistically significant differences between groups. The MOGAD group had a greater loss of thalamic volume compared to MS (p=0.028) and NMOSD (p=0.023) and a greater loss of hippocampal volumes compared to MS (p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Age-adjusted WB volume loss was evident in all neuroinflammatory conditions relative to HC in cross-sectional comparisons. In longitudinal analyses, MOGAD patients had a higher thalamic atrophy rate relative to MS and NMOSD, and a higher hippocampal atrophy rate relative to MS. Larger studies are needed to validate these findings and to investigate their clinical implications.
