Περίληψη:
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood is a novel type of
parainfectious encephalopathy with a racial and geographic predilection,
rarely reported from other than East Asian areas. The objective was to
describe the clinical, imaging, and other laboratory findings of
non-Asian patients with acute necrotizing encephalopathy. Data were
collected from three patients diagnosed in Athens over a 4-year period
plus 16 cases reported from other European and North American countries.
One of the Greek children died, and the other two had a normal outcome.
A neuropathologic examination in the fatal case showed edematous
necrosis without inflammatory, reactive, or proliferative changes. Data
from Greek and other non-Asian patients support the homogeneity of the
disease worldwide.
