摘要：

Two months following an Epstein-Barr virus infection, a 17-year-old white female presented with seizures, intermittent visual changes, and altered mental status. Magnetic resonance imaging showed white matter changes of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis with a predilection for posterior cerebral artery distributions but without radiological evidence of arteritis. Epstein-Barr virus titers and polymerase chain reaction analysis results for the virus were consistent with postinfectious acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The symptoms and signs improved following treatment with high-dose corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. Although Epstein-Barr virus can cause acute viral encephalomyelitis, the authors report a case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis months after acute Epstein-Barr virus infection.
