Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an immune-mediated demyelinating central nervous system disorder with predilection for early childhood. Delayed onset of ADEM is rare, and herein we present a previously healthy 5-year-old boy, with an unusual clinical course of ADEM with high intracranial pressure (ICP) and acute visual loss that was at first diagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP). The boy underwent acute neurosurgical intervention with ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt using Miethke valve and sensor reservoir system and received high-dose steroid treatment with symptom relieve within days. This is the first case report using this system in such a young child, and we find it feasible and valuable also in younger children when VP shunt with ICP measurement is indicated.
