Abstract

ANCE (Acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood) is a disease that affects children with a high fever, a respiratory or gastrointestinal infection, rapid changes in awareness, and seizures. Almost all Asian newborns and children who were previously in good health are affected by this illness. According to serial magnetic resonance imaging studies, the thalami, cerebellum, brainstem, and white matter all showed symmetric lesions in this disease. The condition has a poor prognosis with high morbidity and mortality rates. Amir Kola Children's Hospital is evaluating an A.N.E.C. in a 22-month-old kid Missense mutations were also detected in the gene that codes for the nuclear pore protein- Ran Binding Protein 2 (RANBP2). Though the clinical course and prognosis of ANE differ, the characteristic of neuro radiology manifestation of ANE is multifocal symmetric brain lesions visible on computed tomography (C.T.) or magnetic resonance imaging (M.R.I.).The treatment of ANCE is still under particular observation. We provide the most up-to-date information on ANCE, emphasizing early detection and successful consultation and treatment of this rare but deadly disease.
