cord-311620-zs2mpeke	Handa, Rahul	Covid-19-associated acute haemorrhagic leukoencephalomyelitis	2020-09-02		.txt	text/plain	1481	109	49	In view of altered sensorium, a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was advised which revealed symmetrical FLAIR hyperintensities involving bilateral subcortical fronto-parietal lobes, splenium of corpus callosum, medulla and visualised cervical cord with petechial haemorrhages and evidence of diffusion restriction involving splenium of corpus callosum (Figs. Our patient had an almost sudden onset and a very rapidly progressive downhill course associated with MRI showing bilateral symmetric confluent FLAIR hyperintensities in subcortical white matter involving the posterior fronto-parietal lobes and splenium of corpus callosum suggestive of demyelination and inflammation, with sparing of basal ganglia and cortex with punctate haemorrhages noted in the splenium. Thus, clinico-radiological manifestation of our patient was suggestive of AHL, and although it has a poor prognosis, our patient had a good neurological response to steroids, but unfortunately, severe respiratory dysfunction due to Covid-19 led to his mortality.	./cache/cord-311620-zs2mpeke.txt	./txt/cord-311620-zs2mpeke.txt
