Magnetic resonance imaging in childhood disseminated encephalomyelitis.
We report the magnetic resonance imaging features in two children with post-infectious disseminated encephalomyelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging dramatically demonstrated multiple white matter lesions in both children and resolution of lesions in conjunction with clinical recovery. These cases indicate that magnetic resonance imaging has considerable diagnostic utility in disseminated encephalomyelitis of childhood.
