The development of acute neurologic dysfunction associated with tumefactive demyelinating lesions and mild diffuse involvement of the corpus callosum has been described in children as a sentinel event that may allow diagnosis of juvenile metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) at an early and potentially treatable stage. We report a child who developed this clinico-radiologic pattern associated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies several months before the onset of progressive symptoms of late infantile MLD.
