ABSTRACT
Key Clinical Message Accurately identifying fulminant demyelinating diseases is important for sudden onset of asymmetric cerebral white matter lesions with mass effect. Initially, immunotherapy should be administered; however, surgical intervention should be performed with poor response to medical management and evident signs of cerebral herniation. Abstract A case of fulminant demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that required decompressive craniectomy 8 days after symptom onset is presented. The patient recovered without sequelae after a combination of neurosurgery and immunotherapy with steroids and has remained relapse-free for 4 years.
