Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory disorder of the CNS characterized by generalized demyelination, primarily of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. The condition is usually triggered by a viral infection or vaccination. We report a case of ADEM following a cutaneous varicella infection. Children are preferentially affected.
