Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), or acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis, is a rare autoimmune disease marked by a sudden, widespread attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. As well as causing the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed, ADEM also attacks the nerves of the central nervous system and damages their ...
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis or ADEM, a closely related disorder in which a known virus or vaccine triggers autoimmunity against myelin. Around 40% of the ADEM cases are due to an "anti-MOG associated encephalomyelitis". [24] It includes Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis, possibly a variant of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, Neuromyelitis Optica and MOG Antibody Disease [ edit ] Because demyelinating diseases in the pediatric population can be difficult to distinguish from each other, Banwell has worked to define and provide clinical guidelines for physicians working to delineate the diseases.
Marburg multiple sclerosis, an aggressive form, also known as malignant, fulminant or acute MS. Tumefactive Multiple sclerosis: lesions whose size is more than 2 cm, with mass effect, oedema and/or ring enhancement [9] [10] AntiMOG associated encephalomyelitis: Lesions similar to ADEM sometimes and to NMO some others. It is not normal, but can ...
Encephalomyelitis is inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Various types of encephalomyelitis include: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis or postinfectious encephalomyelitis, a demyelinating disease of the brain and spinal cord, possibly triggered by viral infection. [1] [2] Encephalomyelitis disseminata, a synonym for multiple sclerosis.
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis; Multiple sclerosis (though the cause is unknown, it is sure that immune system is involved) Transverse myelitis; Neuromyelitis optica
The clinical presentation is variable and largely dependent upon the overall clinical manifestation. [citation needed] The presence of anti-MOG autoantibodies has been described in association with the following conditions: [3] Seronegative neuromyelitis optica. [4] [5] Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, especially in recurrent and fulminant ...
A clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) is a clinical situation of an individual's first neurological episode, caused by inflammation or demyelination of nerve tissue. An episode may be monofocal, in which symptoms present at a single site in the central nervous system, or multifocal, in which multiple sites exhibit symptoms.
