Abstract

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an immuno-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, clinically characterized by new debut multifocal neurological symptoms in combination with multiple foci of demyelination in neuroimaging. ADEM in the classical manifestation is considered a postinfectious monophasic disease, and children are more prone to this disease. The review summarizes the latest literature data on epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of ADEM in children.
