30 patients (age 12–17 years) with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) were investigated implementing acoustic brainstem evoked potentials (BAEPs). Significant diffuse slowing of the conduction along the brainstem acoustic pathways was discovered. Later its transient nature was proven by the repeated BAEPs investigation 1–2 months after the treatment course. Taking into the account diffuse and transient nature of this slowing, it may not be explained by the local lesion of the brainstem. It may be suggested that this slowing may happen due to brainstem swelling and reticular formation activity inhibition.

Key words: acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, children, acoustic brainstem evoked potentials, reticular formation
