ABSTRACT
A 5 year old boy and a 10 year old girl presented with acute onset of psychotic disorder, which occurred one week after an upper respiratory infection. MRI images of brain were consistent with the diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in both cases. ADEM is one of the differential diagnoses to be considered when acute psychotic disorder occurs during childhood.
