    Abstract:
    Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an acute immunomediated demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, usually encountered in children or adolescents and characterized by multifocal neurologic deficits of rapid onset. It is often preceded by various infectious diseases or vaccination, but acute disseminated encephalomyelitis developing after herpes simplex encephalitis is rare. We report such a case in a 2-year-old girl which illustrates the importance of MRI features to consider acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a patient who develops neurologic signs after the onset of HVS encephalitis.
