Abstract

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that usually follows a viral infection or immunization. ADEM is defined as a monophasic syndrome, however rarely it may be multiphasic. The distinction between multiple sclerosis and multiphasic ADEM may be difficult. In this article, an 8-year old girl who was admitted to hospital with seizure and loss of consciousness with a given the diagnosis of ADEM is reported. No clinical and radiological attack was observed during the two-year follow-up.

Özet

Akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit (ADEM), santral sinir sisteminin genellikle viral infeksiyonlar veya aşılamadan sonra gelişen akut inflamatuar demiyelinizan hastalığıdır. ADEM sıklıkla monofazik bir tablo olarak tanımlanır, ancak, nadiren multifazik seyredebilir. Multifazik ADEM'i multipl skerozdan ayırt etmek güç olabilir. Bu yazıda bayılma ve bilinç kaybı öyküsü ile hastaneye getirilen ve ADEM tanısı alan sekiz yaşında kız çocuğu sunulmuştur. İki yıllık takipleri süresince hastada klinik ve radyolojik olarak yeni bir atak gözlenmemiştir.
