Sumario:Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) affects the central nervous system (CNS) via a rapid and auto-immune process. It has been associated to viral and bacterial infections, as well as after immunization. Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, reports of COVID 19 infection have been linked to ADEM. We present a case of an 11-year-old female with neurological symptoms during the acute phase of her COVID-19 illness, with MRI changes and positive Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies, with clinical presentation consistent of ADEM.
