Abstract Discussion The most likely diagnosis is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), given the rapid, severe, simultaneous bilateral visual loss, the preceding viral infection and the appearance and distribution of MRI lesions. ADEM is a parainfectious or postinfectious autoimmune demyelinating disease of the CNS and has been considered a monophasic illness, though multiphasic ADEM has been reported. 1 The highest incidence of ADEM is observed during childhood. 2 3 The clinical spectrum of ADEM is heterogeneous with upper motor neuron signs (78%), encephalopathy (42%), meningeal reaction (27%) and cranial neuropathy (17%) but symmetrical visual loss (12%) is less common. 4 Intravenous corticosteroids are the mainstay of initial therapy though immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis have been used in steroid refractory ADEM. 5
