Overview

Case report reveals cerebral infarction and immune-mediated vasculitis in a child, suggesting unique clinical features.

Key Points

  • Acute necrotizing encephalopathy occurred following mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, leading to neurological decline.
  • The patient exhibited a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3T, alongside significant CSF abnormalities including high IL-6 levels.
  • Imaging confirmed bilateral thalamic lesions and vascular occlusions, indicating cerebral infarction alongside encephalopathy.
  • This case highlights the importance of monitoring thrombotic events in severe mycoplasma pneumoniae infections.
