The clinical and radiological spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody associated disease continues to expand. Here, we describe a case of prolonged, relapsing, intractable nausea and vomiting misdiagnosed as a functional disorder for more than one year. The patient did not receive a neurological workup until clear neurological signs developed. This case exemplifies the delay in diagnosis when neurological disease presents with seemingly non-neurological symptoms and illustrates brainstem and upper spinal cord radiological findings that can help guide the treating physician to test for MOG antibodies and provide the appropriate treatment.
