1202. Increased Intracranial Pressure in Pediatric MOG Antibody Disease

For this episode of “Ask the Expert: Research Edition,”
"Increased Intracranial Pressure in Pediatric MOG Antibody
Disease," Krissy Dilger of SRNA was joined by Dr. Cynthia Wang
and Dr. Linda Nguyen. They discussed MOG antibody disease and the
significance of MOG antibodies in diagnosis (00:00:02-00:03:36).
Dr. Nguyen highlighted the background of the study and how this
research focused on determining the impact of elevated
intracranial pressure on patient outcomes (00:03:52-00:06:56).
She reviewed the implications of the findings for patient
management, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and
intervention to mitigate disability (00:10:34-00:14:02). Dr. Wang
and Dr. Nguyen anticipated future studies and stressed the
collaborative effort required for better patient outcomes and the
need for ongoing research in this field (00:17:16-00:20:30).





Dr. Linda Nguyen completed her MD, PhD training at West Virgina
University in 2017, and then pediatric neurology residency at
University of California San Diego in 2022. Currently, she is a
neuroimmunology fellow at University of Texas Southwestern.





Dr. Cynthia Wang received her medical degree from University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas and completed
a pediatrics and pediatric neurology residency at Mott Children’s
Hospital, University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. Dr. Wang completed her James T. Lubin Fellowship under
the mentorship of Dr. Benjamin Greenberg at The University of
Texas Southwestern and Children’s Health. Her research study was
a prospective, longitudinal study on acute disseminated
encephalomyelitis (ADEM) to identify the clinical
characteristics, treatment methods, and follow-up interventions
that are associated with better and worse patient-centered
outcomes.
