Abstract

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), is an inflammatory and demyelinization disorder of central neurvous system (CNS). This disease is characterized by common neurologic findings with multifocal lesion at spinal cord. As etiological factors of ADEM, viral and bacterial infections and also some vaccines have been held responsible. Men are affected more than women, and the disease is generally seen in childhood. Diagnoses have been made based on clinic and radiologic findings. In this article a 40 year- old woman who presented with worsened general condition, and alteration of consciousness who was diagnosed as ADEM after clinical and radiological evaluations. In this article we wanted to emphasize that ADEM which can be cured without any sequelae in % 80 of the patients with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is mostly seen in childhood, but it must be remembered as a diagnostic entity in adults.

Özet

Akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit, merkezi sinir sisteminin enflamatuvar, demiyelinizan bir hastalığıdır. Tipik olarak yaygın nörolojik bulgularla birlikte, beyin ve spinal kordda multifokal lezyonlarla karakterizedir. Etiyolojide viral, bakteriyel etkenlerin yanı sıra bazı aşılar sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Erkeklerde daha çok bildirilen bu hastalık genellikle çocukluk çağında görülmektedir. Tanı klinik ve radyolojik bulgulara dayanılarakkonulmaktadır. Bu makalede, genel durum bozukluğu ve bilinç değişikliği ile başvuran, klinik ve radyolojik değerlendirme sonrası akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit tanısı alan 40 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunulmuş; erken tanı ve uygun tedavi ile % 80i nörolojik sekel kalmadan iyileşebilen bu hastalığın daha çok çocuklarda görülse de erişkin yaş grubunda da hatırlanması gerektiği vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
