An Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis ‐Like Illness in the Elderly: Neuroimaging and Neuropathology Findings

The initial presentation and imaging was pointing toward other diagnoses. Broad differential diagnosis is important, especially for older patients, and pathological proof might be warranted for a conclusive diagnosis.
