Encephalomyelitis is inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Various types of encephalomyelitis include:

  • Encephalomyelitis disseminata, a synonym for multiple sclerosis.
  • AntiMOG associated encephalomyelitis, one of the underlying conditions for the phenotype neuromyelitis optica and in general all the spectrum of MOG autoantibody-associated demyelinating diseases.
  • Eastern equine encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, and Western equine encephalitis: a group of viral illnesses that can affect horses and humans; collectively termed Equine encephalitis.
  • Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of brain inflammation.
  • Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) – A kind of stiff person syndrome.
