Scope note: Proceso inflamatorio agudo o subagudo del SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL caracterizado histológicamente por múltiples focos de desmielinización perivascular. El inicio de los síntomas ocurre generalmente varios días después de una infección vírica aguda o de una inmunización, pero puede coincidir con el comienzo de una infección o, de modo infrecuente, no se identifica un antecedente. Las manifestaciones clínicas incluyen CONFUSIÓN, somnolencia, FIEBRE, rigidez de nuca y movimientos involuntarios. La enfermedad puede progresar hasta el COMA y ser evenyualmente mortal.

Scope note: An acute or subacute inflammatory process of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM characterized histologically by multiple foci of perivascular demyelination. Symptom onset usually occurs several days after an acute viral infection or immunization, but it may coincide with the onset of infection or rarely no antecedent event can be identified. Clinical manifestations include CONFUSION, somnolence, FEVER, nuchal rigidity, and involuntary movements. The illness may progress to COMA and eventually be fatal. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p921)
