MAG

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Neurology
The following appears in the notes for a Neurology consultation:
- Motor: titubeo en MII en MAG sin llegar a claudicar, RCP FD EI.

Can anyone advise me on what MAG indicates?

Cheers,
John

Hi John.
There is a MAG (Mercaptuacetyltriglycine) scan to assess renal function, but it would not make sense here. Although you might be rather thinking of a myelogram (where MAG might work as an unusual acronym), but with the info provided it does not seem to fit in either.

To me, the particular context sounds more like part of a regular neurological exam -a physical assessment of lower limb function in this case. But I confess I am at a loss as to how to read MAG here; I feel it has to be a reference to marcha (maybe [exploración general] de la marcha - marcha general? Walking function assessment?); it is the only thing that makes some sense to me here.

I think it is a type of scan, although still not sure exactly what.

Para mí no tiene sentido la referencia a una polineuropatía por anticuerpos anti-glicoproteína en el contexto de una exploración física.
El E-MAG es una ortesis de miembro inferior, y aunque me parece una referencia harto extraña, tendría sentido indicar su presencia en la exploración.
La verdad es que se me ocurren pocas opciones en este caso, de ahí la solicitud de más contexto, por ayudar a imaginar a qué hace referencia el acrónimo en este caso.

I agree with José Alberto Hi! Here's a reference https://www.gbs-cidp.org/variants/anti-mag/.
'Myelin-associated glycoprotein' ¿Podría ser una abreviatura de 'Myelin-associated glycoprotein'?. Parece que es una glucoproteína asociada a mielina.

¿Podría referirse a una ortesis de MII? (titubeo del miembro inferior izquierdo, con ortesis) ¿Tienes alguna pista adicional en la historia del paciente?
