The analogy between the pathogenesis of ADEM and MS forms the basis of the use of high-dose steroids, plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin for the treatment of ADEM.
Medical Therapy
Supportive Care[1]
- Airway protection in patients with altered mental status
- Mechanical ventilation in cervical myelitis
- Anti-seizure medications
- Correction of fluid and electrolyte disturbances
- Prophylactic anticoagulation for prevention of deep vein thrombosis in high-risk patients
