Abstract
Acute central nervous system (CNS) inflammation may occur as a monophasic illness or may represent the first attack of a chronic inflammatory disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, or CNS vasculitis. We review essential components of the initial assessment, diagnostic workup, acute and chronic management strategies, and research issues pertaining to children with CNS inflammatory diseases and suggest methods for these competencies to be attained during the course of child neurology residency training.
