BACKGROUND Acute encephalomyelopathy occurring after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant for leukaemia is a diagnostic emergency. The diagnosis can be challenging since there is a wide set of alternative diagnoses, including opportunistic infections and relapse of the leukaemia. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year old girl presented with a severe acute myelopathy and encephalopathy. She was in prolo...

An 8-year-old boy was admitted to the Ophthalmology Department due a vision impairment with an accompanying decrease in visual acuity and bilateral optic disc oedema. As result of interdisciplinary diagnostics, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, probably related preceding infection, diagnosed.

In 1948, Hargraves, Richmond, and Morton2 described a new type of cell observed in bone marrow preparations of patients with acute disseminated lupus erythematosus. This cell appears to be a mature polymorphonuclear leukocyte which has within its cytoplasm a large homogeneous mass of blue staining material which displaces the nucleus to the periphery of the cell. Since the cell has been observe...

Acute hemorrhagic encephalomyelitis (AHEM) is considered a rare presentation of acute disseminated (ADEM) and challenging to manage. ADEM illness with an incidence 0.2–0.4 per 100,000 children annually. Here we discuss case report 3-year-old patient who presented the clinical features ADEM. On neuroimaging had form as encephalitis. AHEM very low in pediatric age group poor prognosis. With use i...

We describe three cases of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system) and their histology, showing different radiological features. One appearance is a few ring-shaped enhancing lesions, which are found predominantly in the supratentorial white matter, the other is solid disseminated lesions.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute or subacute condition characterized by widespread multifocal neurological deficits of variable severity. We report a case of a 45-year-old man with ADEM following anti-rabies vaccine (ARV).

Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is a rare complication of primary infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Cardiac involvement in this condition is rare, and is usually limited to endocarditis. However, there are a number of older reports suggestive of direct myocardial involvement. We report a case of a 38-year-old male with HIV who presented with chest pain, pharyngitis, tenosynovitis, a...
