Computed tomography in acute haemorrhagic leukoencephalitis

A R Valentine et al. Neuroradiology. 1982.

Abstract

Three patients with biopsy-proven acute haemorrhagic leukoencephalitis are described. All presented with an abrupt onset of focal neurological signs, pyrexia and leukocytosis. In two cases there was disturbance of consciousness. Computed tomography in each case revealed low density virtually confined to the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere; in one case there was central enhancement within the low density. The combined clinical and CT signs should strongly suggest the diagnosis.
