It presents with rapid onset encephalopathy in a previously healthy child after an episode of viral-like illness. The characteristic Findings of this novel entity are multifocal brain lesion symmetrically distributed in the thalami, brainstem, tegmentum, cerebral periventricular white matter and cerebella medulla.
