Abstract
Acute necrotising encephalopathy of childhood (ANEC) is a rare brain disorder that occurs most commonly after viral infection, predominantly seen in countries like Japan and Taiwan. The goal of this article is to discuss a case of ANEC and highlight the need for early intervention and treatment, as the prognosis is usually poor. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and radiological imaging- which shows the involvement of multiple parts of brain matter. There are no standardised guidelines for management, however, most literature supports emphasis on infection control, steroids for neuroprotection, and immunotherapy. Prompt intervention can prevent rapid neurological decline- which is seen in many cases.
