ABSTRACT
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an uncommon inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It generally presents after a nonspecific viral infection. We describe a case of a male adolescent who presented to the emergency department with vomiting and lethargy. A review of the pathophysiology and clinical presentation for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is presented here.
