Abstrakt:	Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-associated disorders are inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS. Cerebral cortical encephalitis (CCE) is characterized by cortical fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity with seizures and headaches. We report two cases of MOG antibody-associated CCE (MOG-CCE) evaluated using serial MRI sequences, including arterial spin labeling (ASL), pre- and posttreatment. In both patients, ASL demonstrated hyperperfusion correlating with disease activity, which normalized following steroid therapy. Our cases highlight the usefulness of ASL in early detection, monitoring, and assessment of treatment response in MOG-CCE.
