A Brief Discussion on Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC)

Abstract

The word “cognitive disorder” is assigned to behavioral and personality changes leading to a gradual decline of various cognitive realms which further disturbs the day-to-day social as well as professional activities. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) are the irreversible and growing brain conditions destroying the memory and thinking ability causing dementia. Though there exists an exponential increase in both the patients, they are well demarcated clinically with various biomarkers. However, the limited efficiency of the available therapeutic agents for treating AD is a spotlight to develop novel drugs. Herein, the chapter deals with the basic information on symptoms, stages, causes, and even treatment methods for ADEM and ACC.
