Abstract

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which usually occurs following a viral or bacterial infection, or vaccination. Characteristically, ADEM presents with acute encephalopathy with accompanying multifocal neurological symptoms and signs. Due to unavailability of a specific biological marker, neuroimaging is very important in establishing the diagnosis of ADEM. The typical magnetic resonance imaging findings of ADEM are large, multiple and almost symmetrical white matter lesions. Herein, we report a 31-year-old woman presenting with headache, confusion, left hemiparesis and hemihypoesthesia preceded by an infection. The patient fully recovered after intravenous methylprednisolone treatment. MRI revealed white-matter lesions that were typical for ADEM, but the unihemispheric involvment broadened the spectrum of disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Özet

Akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit (ADEM), nadir görülen, çoğu zaman viral veya bakteriyal bir enfeksiyonu ya da aşılanmayı takiben gelişen, merkezi sinir sisteminin (MSS) idyopatik inflamatuar demiyelinizan bir hastalığıdır. Karakteristik olarak, ADEM akut ensefalopatiye eşlik eden multifocal nörolojik belirti ve bulgular ile kendini gösterir. Özgül bir biyolojik belirtecin yokluğu nedeniyle, görüntüleme yöntemleri ADEM tanısında önem kazanmaktadır. ADEM’in tipik MR görüntüleme bulguları; büyük, birden çok, neredeyse simetrik ak madde lezyonlarıdır. Bu yazıda; 31 yaşında, bir enfeksiyonu izleyen dönemde, baş ağrısı, konfüzyon, sol hemiparezi ve hemihipoestezi başvuran bir kadın hasta sunulacaktır. Hasta, intravenöz metilprednizolon tedavisi sonrası tamamen normale dönmüş ve izleyen beş yıl boyunca yeni bir yakınması olmamıştır. MR görüntülemelerinde gözlenen ADEM için tipik ancak tek hemisferi tutan lezyonlar dissemine ensefalomiyelit spekturumunu genişletmektedir.
