摘要：

We report a 16-month-old boy with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) who had an early relapse despite prompt treatment with high dose methylprednisolone. The second episode responded to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). This case illustrates the probability of relapses or treatment failures in ADEM after steroid treatment, and the use of alternative drugs. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
