摘要：

There are no abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in children with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) after varicella infection. Here, we report abnormal MRI findings in an adult, namely: hyperintense signal in the right medullary olive, the right side of the pons, the left middle cerebellar peduncle, the dorsal aspect of both thalami and the periventricular white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. The patient's condition improved after I week of corticosteroid treatment. Four months later, MRI of the brain showed almost complete resolution and there were no further attacks of motor weakness at 18-months follow-up. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
