Atypical Presentation Resembling Acute Leukoencephalopathy With Restricted Diffusion in Staphylococcus aureus Meningoencephalitis.
Curēus 2024 March
Meningoencephalitis refers to inflammation of the brain and meninges. It can be caused by various organisms, such as Neisseria meningitidis , Streptococcus pneumoniae , and so on. Staphylococcus aureus causing meningoencephalitis is relatively rare. It is mainly encountered in patients who have undergone surgeries in the past. Acute leukoencephalopathy with restricted diffusion (ALERD) is a type of encephalopathy that can involve both white and grey matter of the brain, and it has a characteristic "bright tree appearance" on MRI. It can be because of various infectious etiologies or caused by various toxins. Neurological sequelae are observed in about two out of three cases. Here, we describe a case of S. aureus meningoencephalitis with ALERD, which has been seldom reported. More awareness about this is required among primary care physicians for timely diagnosis and management to prevent any complications.
