An 8-year-old boy was admitted to the Ophthalmology Department due a vision impairment with an accompanying decrease in visual acuity and bilateral optic disc oedema. As result of interdisciplinary diagnostics, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, probably related preceding infection, diagnosed.

Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a rare skin disorder which was first described by Snow in 1913. Clinical manifestations are usually limited to cutaneous lesions and is most commonly observed in infants under the age of 1 year. Usually, there is a history of recent upper respiratory tract infection and antibiotic administration. Clinical presentation of this disease includes petechi...

INTRODUCTION Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in adulthood occurs in most cases after a viral infection. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis associated with bacterial meningitis, however, is quite rare. CASE PRESENTATION An 82-year-old Japanese woman presented with a fever and somnolence. Increased neutrophil count and protein content, and decreased glucose levels in her cerebrospinal fl...

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that usually occurs following an antecedent infection or vaccination. Children and young adults are predominantly affected, but it has low incidence in children younger than 3 years. The disease manifests with a wide range of neurological abnormalities and a variable combination of fever,...

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a monophasic demyelinating disease most often triggered by infection or immunization, though associations with malignancy and stem cell transplant have been described. We described the case of a four-year-old boy with new-onset neurological symptoms associated with ADEM, acute leukemia, and equivocal evidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. He ...

abstract acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (adem) is a rare immune mediated and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that usually affects children. it as a monophasic disorder related with multifocal neurologic symptoms. here in this paper we report seven cases of adem in pediatrics and besides a review of literatures are presented.

Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHLE), otherwise known as Hurst’s Disease, is a rare, rapidly progressive and usually fatal demyelinating condition affecting the central nervous system. It is usually preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection and is thought by many authors to be a hyperacute form of post infectious encephalomyelitis. It was recently found to be linked to Epstein-Barr...

background: changes in the lipid profile have been suggested as a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke. their role in intra-cerebral hemorrhage, however, is not clear. the present study was designed to evaluate the lipid profile levels of patients who had experienced an acute stroke during the first 24-hour and to compare these levels in different patients suffering from the stroke, eithe...

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is characterized by its rapid progression with variable symptoms and severity in adults and children. Multiple therapeutic options have been proposed, but solid evidence is yet to be gathered. We describe an adult man with a fulminant form of ADEM unresponsive to numerous treatment modalities.
