Abstract

Weston-Hurst syndrome is an exceptional variant of ADEM characterized by brain hemorrhages. Lesions are usually supratentorial and death is a usual outcome. We report a cerebellar Weston-Hurst syndrome early treated by craniectomy, steroids and plasma exchange. This is the first case of infratentorial Weston-Hurst syndrome associated with a favorable outcome.

Keywords: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; Cerebellar hemorrhage; Cerebellitis; Weston-Hurst syndrome.
