“…In addition, the egg-yolk appearance observed during the second attack (Fig. 1D) has been repeatedly reported previously in ADEM patients (12,13). Furthermore, encephalopathy is not typically associated with MS (1).…”

A 25-year-old woman presented with a fever, headache, vomiting and somnolence. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple lesions in the cerebellum, brainstem, cerebral cortex and subcortex. Oligoclonal bands were positive in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). She experienced a good recovery after steroid treatment. Four months later, she developed right vision loss. Repeated MRI showed multiple cranial lesions different from those involved in the first attack in both size and distribution. An abnormal high signal was also observed in the front and intraorbital regions of the right optic nerve. The patient's vision progressively improved, and she obtained a full recovery following the administration of steroids. A diagnosis of multiphasic disseminated encephalomyelitis manifesting with optic neuritis was made.

“…CSF shows mild lymphocytosis in 40-85% of cases, although pleocytosis over 100 cells/mm 3 can occur. MRI is the procedure of choice to define the neurological involvement, and it can usually demonstrate diffuse and asymmetrical lesions of decreased signal on T1 sequences, and mainly lesions of increased signal on T2 sequences, as in our patient [10]. The outcome of the disease is usually favorable and many patients present a complete clinical and radiological recovery.…”

“…The gray matter, basal ganglia, thalamus, and spinal cord may be involved. There is no evidence of previous destructive white matter changes [10,21]. Periventricular lesions are reported currently (30-60 % of cases) as callosal locations are less frequent [15].…”
