Abstract
Uremic encephalopathy can mimic clinically and radiologically like a stroke. The presence of cytotoxic edema in bilateral semicentrum ovale without involvement of basal ganglion is uncommon in uremic encephalopathy in a diabetic patient. Here we demonstrate the rare white matter radiological subtype of uremic encephalopathy in a 48-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease.
