We discuss the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with thought impoverishment, disorganized behavior, and echolalia. The patient's condition progressed to treatment-refractory catatonia. She was started on oral Coenzyme Q10 after magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed findings consistent with drug-induced leukoencephalopathy (DIL). Following improvement, she acknowledged cocaine use that suggested a diagnosis of cocaine-induced leukoencephalopathy (CIL). This case report seeks to elucidate radiological and clinical features of DIL.
