Abstract
The article presents a clinical observation of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in a 45-year-old female patient. The onset of the disease began with speech disturbances, changes in voice, weakness in the right leg, and periodic twitching in the right arm. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed lesions in the white matter of the brain. A complication of the disease was occlusive thrombosis of the left internal jugular vein, the lower jugular vein, and the subclavian vein. This case highlights the importance of physicians’ awareness—specifically general practitioners and neurologists—about rare diseases such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, its early manifestations, potential long-term complications, and modern treatment approaches
