Deep Gray Matter Involvement in Children with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis
AJNR 15:1275-1283, Baum,P.A.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Involvement of deep gray matter was common in our small series.The finding of T2 prolongation in these structures does not preclude the diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis in the proper clinical setting. Because thalamic involvement is reported to be rare in multiple sclerosis, it may prove useful in distinguishing between acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and the initial presentation of multiple sclerosis.
