Can acute disseminated encephalomyelitis paralyze?

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis affects both the brain and the spinal cord, because there must be signs of brain damage and spinal cord damage. Brain damage varies according to the site of damage, for example, damage to the part that controls the movement of the limbs, which may show paralysis. If the spinal cord is affected, it may also cause paralysis, which may show paralysis of both legs. If the brain is affected, it may be hemiplegia. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis may also affect both brain tissues, bilateral paralysis may result from bilateral brain tissue involvement, biplegia may occur more frequently from spinal cord involvement, and quadriplegia may occur in some patients from cervical spinal cord involvement
