Abstract

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an autoimmune inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the CNS. Although the mechanism by which demyelination occurs is unclear, several theories have been suggested. In approximately 50–75% of cases, symptoms arise 4–15 days after an upper respiratory tract infection or after vaccination.
