		Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is a monophasic disease and usually preceded by a viral illness or vaccination.
		Acute transverse myelitis differs clinically from myelopathy of multiple sclerosis; the former is more symmetrical, rapidly evolved, frequently having ascending involvement of the spinal cord, and initially a condition of spinal shock is present for variable period of time.
		The myelopathy is acute in onset in 50% of patients.

		The initial presenting clinical and laboratory findings of either acute disseminated encephalomyelitis or the first attack of multiple sclerosis in the pediatric population were compared and contrasted.
		Systemic and nonfocal neurologic symptoms were more commonly evident in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis than in multiple sclerosis: fever (43% vs 6%), headache (57% vs 24%), fatigue (71% vs 29%), vomiting (57% vs 0%), and encephalopathy (71% vs 6%).
		These results suggest that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis can be differentiated to some degree according to clinical and radiologic data at initial presentation, which is important because the long-term prognosis for childhood multiple sclerosis appears to be less favorable.

		Further dissection between acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and a first attack of multiple sclerosis is futile.
		Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an autoimmune, monphasic, demyelinating disease generally associated with preceding viral infection and thought to be secondary to molecular mimicry and formation of T-cell and B-cell response to endogenous proteins in the myelin layer.
		ADEM more closely mimics experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in that it is a monophasic illness as opposed to multiple sclerosis, which is polyphasic or progressive by definition.

		Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a nonvasculitic inflammatory demyelinating condition that bears a striking clinical and pathological resemblance to multiple sclerosis (MS).
		Acute administration of very high-dose intravenous corticosteroids may possibly close the blood-brain barrier and subtend the development of edema, which may, in these fulminant cases, account for the high risk for permanent morbidity.
		Some cases are labeled as acute MS with prepubertal onset of acute encephalopathy, with mental status changes ranging from confusion to coma, seizures, and prominent pyramidal tract abnormalities (Shaw, 1987; Cole 1995).

		Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalopathy is a hyperacute form of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in which an anaphylactic-like reaction predominantly involving the white matter leads to vascular necrosis and demyelination.
		The pathologic features of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalopathy are strikingly similar to those produced in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis when pertussis vaccine is used as an adjuvant (1).
		Both this experimental condition and the acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalopathy may be caused by deposition of circulating immune complexes within vessel walls (2).
