Fulminant demyelinating encephalomyelitis: Insights from antibody studies and neuropathology.
OBJECTIVES Antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are detectable in inflammatory demyelinating CNS diseases, and MOG antibody-associated diseases seem to have a better prognosis despite occasionally severe presentations. METHODS We report the case of a 71-year-old patient with acute visual and gait disturbance that dramatically worsened to bilateral amaurosis, tetraplegia, an...
متن کاملAcute fulminant demyelinating disease: a descriptive study of 60 patients.
BACKGROUND Acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is characterized by a severe inflammatory attack, frequently secondary to infectious events or vaccinations. To date, no clear criteria exist for ADEM, and the risk of subsequent evolution to multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of evolution to MS after a first episode of ADEM. DESIGN Observational, r...
متن کاملNeuropathology of Demyelinating Diseases in Japan
We reviewed and compared the neuropathology of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in Japan. Demyelinating lesions of MS are well circumscribed as compared with the lesions of NMO and NMOSD, which reveal variable, irregularly shaped and ill-defined borders that extend longitudinally ...
متن کاملThe Demyelinating Diseases and Recent Advances
The term ' demyelinating diseases' is applied to a group of disorders of the central nervous system which show loss of the normal myelination of the white matter and in which this loss is regarded as being of especial importance. This paper is a short review of such conditions and it will also include a brief survey of recent research work which it is believed may throw light on them, particula...
