We describe a case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a child. This case is unusual in that the illness was characterised by recurrent episodes rather than a monophasic course and that the choice of treatment was intravenous immunoglobulin over corticosteroids. The rapid and remarkable recovery is highlighted and a review of the treatment for this rare condition is discussed.
我们描述了一例儿童急性播散性脑脊髓炎病例。该病例不同寻常之处在于,其疾病特征为反复发作而非单相病程,且治疗选择为静脉注射免疫球蛋白而非皮质类固醇。文中强调了其迅速且显著的康复情况,并讨论了针对这种罕见病症的治疗方法。
