Two patients with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalopathy, one of which was pathologically proven, were serially studied with CT scanning. Both patients showed marked distinctive low density white matter changes throughout both hemispheres, which correlated with clinically involved areas. One patient recovered from the disease, perhaps due to steroid treatment, and showed slow but complete resolution of CT scan changes. We feel that CT scan findings significantly help in the diagnosis of this disease, which may be amenable to early treatment with steroids.
