What is the frequency, nature, and outcome of recurrent acute disseminated encephalomyelitis?
Recurrent ADEM may be more prevalent than previously recognized, often involving the same brain territory and responding well to corticosteroids.
Cohen et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) (n=21). Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis was evaluated on Recurrent disease episodes. Recurrent acute disseminated encephalomyelitis occurred in 24% (5 of 21) of patients, often involving the previously affected brain territory and showing a good response to corticosteroid therapy.
