    Abstract:
    Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalomyelitis is considered to be a rare autoimmune disorder. The present case, a 34-year-old male, developed non-specific symptoms 3 weeks after surgical removal of his meniscus and following an inconspicuous infection of the upper respiratory tract. The spinal cord was the first to be affected, followed by symptoms of headache, nausea and fever which reached 39.4 degrees C. Autopsy revealed acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalomyelitis with marked involvement of the spinal cord. Diagnosis was established by histopathological examination of the brain and spinal cord. This is the first description of the onset of this disease in the spinal cord.
