| Abstract;A seventy-four-male with disorientation and convulsion was transferred to this hospital after three days fever which was unknown origin. Because the examination of cerebrospinal fluid were; cell count 1,560/3 (N:L=4:1), protein 305mg/dl, sugar 91mg/dl, he was treated as encephalitis. However, MRI of the 18th hospital day revealed bilateral thalamic lesion and disseminated white matter lesions, suggesting acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. He left dementia after treatment and transferred to another hospital. Since, it is difficult to make a differential diagnosis between encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, early establishment of diagnostic criteria for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is required.
