The current diagnostic reference standard for peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries is neurosensory testing in combination with clinical findings to determine treatment. MRN provides an alternative method for the diagnosis and staging of patients with PTN because of its ability to delineate anatomy and the exact location of injury. This study correlates injury grading based on NST and MRN, demonstrating similar rates of agreement with surgical findings in lower-grade injuries but higher rates of agreement between MRN and surgical findings than NST in higher-grade injuries.

This study characterizes the CNS imaging manifestations of pediatric MOGAD. The authors also identify the clinical and imaging variables associated with relapse. There is an age-dependent imaging phenotype at presentation and first relapse, and older age at presentation is associated with shorter time to relapse.
