Abstract:
A 19-year-old man with common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) developed necrotizing leukoencephalopathy (NL) after extensive chemotherapy and irradiation. Clinicians should exercise care in the treatment of leukemia, since chemotherapy has shown a trend of becoming more intensive, and the survival time of patients with leukemia is being extended.
