Acquired demyelinating syndromes (ADS) in pediatrics are neurological disorders that result in the loss of myelin in the central nervous system, affecting nerve impulse conduction. These include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with aquaporin 4 antibodies (NMOSD-AQP4+), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). A case of a 4-year-old child diagnosed with an acquired demyelinating syndrome of the central nervous system (CNS), with a high suspicion of MOGAD, is presented.
