Vanishing White Matter Disease Diagnosis After Athletic Concussion in an Adolescent Male Patient.

ABSTRACT: We report the recognition of a diagnosis of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter, also known as vanishing white matter disease in an adolescent male patient after a sports-related concussion. The patient's atypical symptoms after the concussion led to imaging and subsequent neurological consultation. The objective of this clinical case is to highlight the importance of considering imaging in patients who present with atypical symptoms that may be present after a concussion and to raise awareness of this rare disorder which can present after head trauma.
