Hello doctor, My 14 year old daughter was seeing a little dot on her left eye (could be a floater only). She is fine. There is no fever, no headache, no nausea, or pain on any part of her body. When an ophthalmologist examined her, he told us that her optic nerve is elevated. So, he referred us to a neuro pediatrician. The neurologist then requested an MRI and found some small grayish matter on the brain and declared that my daughter has ADEM. While on steroids, the neurologist requested a lumbar tap. The result was good. My question is: if there is a grayish matter on the brain (MRI), does this always mean ADEM or autoimmune? Also, can we rule out multiple sclerosis because the lumbar tap result was alright?
