Overview

In the vast majority of cases, the causal pathogen is unknown. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is a clinical illness that can be roughly classified as encephalomyelitis with numerous inflammatory demyelination, autoimmune reasons, and a connection to a previous infection or vaccine.

ADEM is currently seen most commonly after a bout of viral infection of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. However, in the majority of cases, the etiology still remains unknown.
