Two-year follow-up of a young male with possible acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis: A case report.

AHLE presents distinctly from classical ADEM, and the situation may pose a diagnostic challenge. Clinicians should be vigilant in recognizing AHLE because of its rapid clinical deterioration and high mortality. We highlight the critical role of multimodal MRI, particularly susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the diagnosis of AHLE if cerebral biopsies are unavailable. Multiple courses of IVIG with MMF may be effective when early single pulse of corticosteroids fails. Individual who survives the initial insult may carry relatively good prognosis.
