What is the ADEM?

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is characterized by a brief but widespread attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that damages myelin – the protective covering of nerve fibers. ADEM often follows viral or bacterial infections, or less often, vaccination for measles, mumps, or rubella.

Is ADEM a disease or disorder?

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a neurological, immune-mediated disorder in which widespread inflammation of the brain and spinal cord damages tissue known as white matter. White matter is tissue composed of nerve fibers, many of which are covered by a collection of fats and proteins known as myelin.

Is ADEM an autoimmune disease?

ADEM is an "autoimmune" condition that often occurs after a child has an infection, such as a cold. The immune system protects the body from invaders, like bacteria and viruses. Autoimmune diseases confuse the body's immune system. Instead of fighting against bacteria or viruses, it attacks healthy cells and tissues.

What is the difference between encephalitis and encephalomyelitis?

Inflammation of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, is called meningitis; inflammation of the brain itself is called encephalitis. Myelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord. When both the brain and the spinal cord are involved, the condition is called encephalomyelitis.

Can Covid vaccine cause ADEM?

A wide variety of precipitating factors can trigger ADEM, and it has long been known to be a rare adverse event following some types of vaccinations. Recently, ADEM has also been associated with COVID-19 infection and (very rarely) with COVID-19 vaccination.

How do you detect ADEM?

ADEM Diagnosis and Tests No one test can spot ADEM. Doctors most often diagnose it with MRI (pictures of your brain made with a large magnet and radio waves) and a lumbar puncture (fluid drawn from around the spinal cord and then tested). Your doctor will try to rule out conditions with similar symptoms.

Is ADEM disease curable?

More than 85 percent of people with ADEM recover fully within a few weeks. Most others recover within a few months. Steroid treatments can shorten the duration of an attack.

Is ADEM reversible?

An important differential diagnosis of ADEM is mild encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS), this entity is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterized by a transient mild encephalopathy and a reversible lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum on MRI.

The ICD code G040 is used to code Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
