TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Post-traumatic acute disseminated encephalomyelitis JO - Radiology case reports A1 - Magazi, Dali A1 - Wynand-Ndlovu, Lezanne A1 - Legwara, Patrick A1 - Matlala, Baile A1 - Sebiloane, Sidney A1 - Patel, Jeshal SP - 584 EP - 584 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - A 23-year-old black African male fell and bumped his head from a tackle while playing soccer. He subsequently became blind from optic neuritis. An MRI of the brain showed white-matter changes suggestive of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). MR spectroscopy of the brain showed a demyelination pattern. This case report brings to the fore unsettled questions about ADEM, among them being whether it can occur as a post-traumatic event.
