INTRODUCTION
MOG antibody disease also known as ‘MOGAD’ or anti- MOG associated encephalomyelitis is a neuro-inflammatory disorder in which there is an inflammation of optic nerve, but along with that inflammation of spinal cord and brain is also seen. In this there is a presence of serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in half of the patients with this acquired demyelinating syndrome. In this following changes are seen such as- acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis and neuromyelitis optica.
AYURVEDIC OVERVIEW
According to ayurveda we can correlate this disease with ‘pitta avrit pran vayu’. As it is an inflammatory condition and no inflammation can occur without pitta dosha. This type of vata is situated primarily in the head, brain and upper body. It plays a major role in perception of senses (such as visual, auditory etc) thoughts etc.

It includes all those common conditions that will give rise to generate a pathological condition in our body. As per ayurveda they are known as ‘nidan’ and ‘hetu’
The exact reason of this disease is still not clear (idiopathic) but following theories are present
