What is an 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.

What is a diagnosis of ADEM?

Overall, what triggers a diagnosis of ADEM is a rapidly developing illness with neurological symptoms, often with fever and headache, usually following an upper respiratory tract infection, and which has significant MRI and spinal fluid findings consistent with ADEM.

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.

What is the cause of ADEM?

What is the difference between ADEM and MS?

ADEM generally consists of a single attack, while MS involves multiple attacks. In this instance, an MRI of the brain can help. MRIs can differentiate between older and newer lesions. The presence of multiple older lesions on the brain is more consistent with MS.

How is ADEM different from MS?

In most but not all cases, ADEM occurs only once, while patients with MS have further, repeated attacks of inflammation in their brains and spinal cords. In most cases, ADEM patients do not develop new scars on a repeat MRI scan whereas MS patients typically experience new scars on their follow-up MRI scans.

What is the treatment for ADEM?

High dose intravenous (IV) corticosteroids (typically methylprednisolone) are the front-line treatment for ADEM. These medications are usually given over a three- to five-day course, followed or not by a tapering dose of steroids given orally (by mouth) over a few days.

Is ADEM autoimmune?

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.
