Scope note: Enfermedad desmielinizante del cerebro de curso fulminante y a menudo fatal y que afecta principalmente a adultos jóvenes y niños. Las características clínicas incluyen un rápido comienzo con decaimiento, CONVULSIONES y COMA. Puede producirse después de una enfermedad vírica o infecciones por MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE, pero en la mayoría de los casos no hay un factor precipitante. El examen anatmopatológico pone de manifiesto una acusada desmielinización perivascular y necrosis de la sustancia blanca con microhemorragias.

Scope note: A fulminant and often fatal demyelinating disease of the brain which primarily affects young adults and children. Clinical features include the rapid onset of weakness, SEIZURES, and COMA. It may follow a viral illness or MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE infections but in most instances there is no precipitating event. Pathologic examination reveals marked perivascular demyelination and necrosis of white matter with microhemorrhages. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp924-5)
