Recurrence of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis at the previously affected brain site.
BACKGROUND Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a usually monophasic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Recurrences pose a diagnostic challenge because they can be overlooked or suggest an alternative diagnosis. OBJECTIVE To examine the frequency, nature, and outcome of recurrent ADEM. DESIGN Review of the medical records of patients diagnosed in our institution...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, the possible etiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) are discussed. ADEM is a para- or postinfectious autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and has been considered a monophasic disease. The highest incidence of ADEM is observed during childhood. RECENT FINDINGS Over t...
متن کاملAcute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a monophasic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). Unlike viral encephalitis, microorganisms do not invade the CNS. Instead, ADEM is a postinfectious disease mediated by auto-reactive cells or molecules. Clinical characteristics of ADEM are consistent with disseminated involvement of the CNS, including encephalopathy and pyrami...
متن کاملAcute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, and is characterised by multifocal white matter involvement. Diffuse neurological signs along with multifocal lesions in brain and spinal cord characterise the disease. Possibly, a T cell mediated autoimmune response to myelin basic protein, triggered by an infection or vaccination, und...
متن کاملAcute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has contributed to increase the interest and awareness in childhood white matter disorders. Pediatric inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are clinically heterogeneous with respect to their mode of presentation, clinical severity, rate of progression, and prognosis. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a...
