Rabies encephalitis has a classical clinical presentation and its diagnosis is unmistakable. In about a fifth of cases rabies occurs as its paralytic form, which lacks the classic symptoms and may mimic other diseases, especially acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in rabies shows a distinct abnormal pattern that differentiates it from ADEM. Henc...

Introduction: Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an immunity-mediated central nervous system demyelinating disorder. Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) examination provides information about a patient's ADEM development status. A positive MOG antibody can signify first episode or incomplete recovery. This review aims to report case of pediatric patient with acute disseminated...

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a multifocal, monophasic, acute demyelinating disease of the brain and spinal cord, which is commonly preceded by viral infections and occasionally bacterial infections or immunizations. Its occurrence following malarial infection, especially Plasmodium vivax Malaria is very uncommon. We report an 11-year girl who presented with clinical features o...

We describe a 59-year-old Japanese man with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) demonstrating medial temporal lesions on magnetic resonance images (MRI) mimicking acute limbic encephalitis. This patient had antecedent infection and developed urinary retention. Subsequently he showed various neurological manifestations including truncal ataxia, nystagmus and generalized convulsions, sugg...

CLINICAL PROCEDURE MRI. SPECIALTY Neurology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND There are several categories of primary inflammatory demyelinating disorders, which comprise clinically similar neu...

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a common complication of central nervous system diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases, but it remains under-recognized and under-treated in the clinic. PBA caused by acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) has rarely been reported. Here, we report a 30-year-old Chinese woman who has experienced PBA from ADEM for 7 years. Th...

Neurologic complications in the course of Plasmodium falciparum infections are commonly diagnosed as cerebral malaria, but bacterial or viral meningitis may exhibit similar symptoms. One to three weeks after P. falciparum malaria, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) can also mimick the symptoms of cerebral malaria. We describe a 31-year-old woman with life-threatening ADEM five days aft...
