MOGAD (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody Disease) is caused by antibodies against the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) found on the surfaces of oligodendrocytes and its damage. MOGAD and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) are very rare autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system that are often se en with joint involvement of the optic nerves and spinal cord.

However, being the first and early finding in other very rare demyelinating diseases can cause diagnostic confusion. In this article, we wanted to present the importance of optic neuritis, demyelinating diseases and differential diagnosis in a İnformed consent of the patient was obtaine d, 51-years-old female patient who had bilateral optic neuritis attacks at different times, in the light of the literature.
