Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an acute immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating condition involving the brain and spinal cord, which presents clinically with new-onset polyfocal neurologic features, which by definition include encephalopathy. A third ADEM-like event is not consistent with a diagnosis of multiphasic ADEM but indicates a chronic relapsing demyelinating disorder, such as relapsing optic neuritis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder associated with antiaquaporin-4 antibodies, relapsing anti-MOG antibody-associated demyelination, or MS depending the clinical phenotype, biomarker, and neuroimaging findings. A long-term follow-up study using the 2007 International Pediatrics Multiple Sclerosis Study Group criteria evaluated the parameters at initial diagnosis and eventual conversion to MS in a cohort of 123 children with a first episode of acute CNS demyelination.
