초록

Methotrexate (MTX)-induced leukoencephalopathy is the most often reported leukoencephalopathy followingintrathecal or intravenous administration. A 72-year-old woman developed leukoencephalopathy localized to thecerebellum after treatment with oral MTX at a dose of 15 mg/week for 3 years. She complained of subtle imbalanceduring walking and reported having fallen. Her symptoms improved after discontinuation of MTX, and theleukoencephalopathy resolved. This is therefore a case report of selective cerebellar reversible leukoencephalopathyassociated with oral MTX.

Abstract

Methotrexate (MTX)-induced leukoencephalopathy is the most often reported leukoencephalopathy followingintrathecal or intravenous administration. A 72-year-old woman developed leukoencephalopathy localized to thecerebellum after treatment with oral MTX at a dose of 15 mg/week for 3 years. She complained of subtle imbalanceduring walking and reported having fallen. Her symptoms improved after discontinuation of MTX, and theleukoencephalopathy resolved. This is therefore a case report of selective cerebellar reversible leukoencephalopathyassociated with oral MTX.
