Craniectomy for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis

Practical Neurology, 2020
A 17-year-old girl underwent emergency bifrontal craniectomy for severely raised intracranial pressure with brainstem compression, having developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following Epstein-Barr virus infection. We discuss the current evidence for craniectomy in both ADEM and infective encephalitis and propose an approach to ...

Treatment of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2012
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease, characterized by an acute onset of polyfocal central nervous system (CNS) deficits, including encephalopathy, demonstrating multifocal lesions on MRI. ADEM is typically a monophasic disorder, but recurrent and multiphasic courses have been described.

Tumefactive acute disseminated encephalomyelitis

Neurology India, 2017
Tumefactive demyelinating lesions are tumour-like presentations of acute demyelinating lesions. They have been described with multiple sclerosis only and not with other varieties of acquired demyelination like acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).

Tumefactive Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis

Neurology India, 2020
Tumefactive demyelination is a phenomenon involving the radiographic resemblance of an acute demyelinating process in the central nervous system to neoplasia. Although this has been described and characterized for multiple sclerosis, it has been reported in a few cases in patients with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) within the past decade.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2011
ADEM is a disease that is characterized by an inflammatory reaction and demyelination in the central nervous system, with a distinct tendency to a peripheral localization of pathological changes. ADEM happens to occur with a temporal, and probably also with a causative relationship to viral, exanthematous diseases, as well as to preventive vaccinations.
