Abstract
Neurological complications of the newly appeared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are increasingly recognized. Here, we report a case of a young male presenting with a clinical and neuroimaging scenario of an acute necrotizing encephalopathy related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This case is notable by its distinct pattern of magnetic resonance imaging findings of an extensive involvement of the cerebellum, and emergence of cognitive and behavioral impairment.
