ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of acute post infectious leukoencephalitis observed in a two-years and a half child admitted to our hospital for fever with sudden condition deterioration, obnibulation, coma and paralysis of the 6th and 7th cranial nerve. Cerebrospinal fluid study showed lymphocytosis with negative culture. Head magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated diffuse high signals over the white matter on T2 weighted images so the diagnosis was confirmed. High dose corticosteroid therapy was effective
