Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) can mimic pediatric stroke. This case highlights ADEM presenting as stroke, successfully treated with high-dose steroids.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Immunology
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelination syndrome.
- ADEM often follows immunization or viral infections and presents with diverse neurological symptoms.
Observation:
- A pediatric case of ADEM is presented, initially mimicking a stroke.
- The patient exhibited neurological symptoms consistent with stroke.
Findings:
- The presented case of ADEM successfully responded to high-dose steroid treatment.
- This case underscores the importance of considering ADEM in the differential diagnosis of pediatric stroke.
Implications:
- Early recognition and treatment of ADEM can lead to favorable outcomes.
- Understanding ADEM's varied presentations is crucial for accurate pediatric neurological diagnosis.
