Delayed Hypoxic Leukoencephalopathy (DHL) is a rare demyelinating disease. This condition occurs days or weeks after a hypoxic-anoxic injury. Symptoms and imaging changes almost fully resolve, with a good prognosis. We report the case of a young woman who developed DHL after a cardiopulmonary arrest.
