A member asked:
What exactly is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (adem)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Childhood illness: Occurs in childhood, and typically monophasic, but could be confused with MS in some cases. Typically follows viral infection or vaccination and can result in diffuse encephalopathy. Classic MRI findings of large white matter lesions which light up with contrast help confirm. Typically does NOT recur.
