Reporte de caso: Mielitis transversa con anticuerpos anti-glicoproteína de la mielina del oligodendrocito en un paciente con debut de síndrome de Sjögren

Transverse myelitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the spinal cord. Its etiology is multiple. A case of a 55-year-old patient with no history is shown, who presented paraplegia and acute anesthesia of the lower limbs, associated with urinary retention, with a diagnosis of transverse myelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed, which showed a longitudinally extensive spinal cord lesion from vertebral segment dorsal 6. Anti-Ro antibodies were present in high titers, salivary gland biopsy confirmed Sjogren's syndrome, and antibodies directed against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (Anti-MOG) were present. Secondary causes were ruled out.
