Abstract
A ten-year-old Japanese boy, who fell ill with rubella encephalitis at 6 years of life, disclosed reversible symmetrical white matter low attenuation in both X-ray CT and 11C-glucose positron emission tomography (PET), which was newly applied to the illness. He recovered completely without neurological sequelae, similar in X-ray CT and PET.
