Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, also known as ADEM, is a rare autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that has been correlated with viral infections and vaccinations and has a range of presentations, where it can present as a mild neurological dysfunction or more severe manifestations ending in chronic neurological sequelae or even death; therefore, it is considered to be a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of ADEM diagnosed in a previously healthy male patient with a recent infection of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Early diagnosis and management with intravenous immunoglobulins held the key to a good outcome.
