| Core Tip |
Headache may occur at different stages of pediatric acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and can create distinct diagnostic challenges. In the first case, severe headaches preceded the development of encephalopathy and multifocal neurological abnormalities. In the second, persistent headache continued after neurological recovery and prompted reassessment for ongoing inflammatory disease. Importantly, persistent headache alone does not establish recurrent or multiphasic ADEM. These cases emphasize the importance of interpreting headache based on its temporal relationship to neurological findings and using repeat neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid evaluation selectively when clinically indicated. |
