How to treat acute disseminated encephalomyelitis

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The disease can occur at any age. It may be caused by vaccination or infection. Therefore, the treatment of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis can be started with corticosteroids, or with immunoglobulin, immunosuppressant, etc. Other treatments include plasma exchange, which removes pathological antibodies, complements, and cytokines. After aggressive treatment, the patient's prognosis is generally good, but there may be neurological deficits, such as motor disorders, paresthesia, visual impairment, and epilepsy.
