ABSTRACT

Resumen Las enfermedades desmielinizantes inflamatorias comprenden una serie de desórdenes de origen autoinmune que afectan la mielina a nivel del sistema nervioso central (SNC) y periférico. Pueden ser monofásicas, multifásicas, progresivas, monofocales o multifocales, y su diagnóstico suele ser de exclusión. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 15 años que debuta con cefalea, ataxia, hemiparesia, oftalmoparesia y alteración de la conciencia. En la resonancia magnética nuclear se observaron lesiones compatibles con enfermedad desmielinizante. Se realizó diagnóstico de encefalomielitis diseminada aguda. La paciente respondió favorablemente al tratamiento con corticoides.


Abstract Inflammatory demyelinating diseases comprise a series of autoimmune disorders affecting myelin at the level of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system. They can be monophasic, multiphasic, progressive, monofocal or multifocal, and their diagnosis is usually of exclusion. We report the case of a 15-year-old female patient with headache, ataxia, hemiparesis, ophthalmoplegia and altered consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed lesions compatible with demyelinating disease. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis was diagnosed. The patient responded to treatment with corticosteroids.
