Abstract
We describe a case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis following v aricella infection presenting as transverse myelitis. Magnetic resonan ce imaging revealed diffuse cord swelling and signal increase without gadolinium enhancement and several silent brain lesions, all of which completely resolved at follow-up.
