Toxic leukoencephalopathy is a structural alteration of the white matter following exposure to various toxic agents. Kao et al.323 report a 49-year-old man exposed to an explosion of lacquer thinner with brain MRI features atypical from those of chronic toxic solvent intoxication.323

The much more prevalent use of FMR scanning in CoV-19-infected individuals would be to assess the severity of underlying cardiovascular illness, especially cerebral bleeding, dural venous sinus, ischaemic, and thromboembolic stroke (Jain et al. 2020). COV-19‘s obvious link to cerebrovascular disease could be due to the rising risk of artery thrombosis caused by endothelial dysfunction (Radmanesh et al. 2020), platelet activation (Oxley et al. 2020), stasis, inflammation, leukoencephalopathy, and widespread white matter abnormalities, including parenchymal microhemorrhages (Bikdeli et al. 2020). COVID-19 illness is linked to a type of leukoencephalopathy, according to Radmanesh et al. (2020), which may be visualised using F-MRI to detect the existence of microhemorrhage. Hypoxia and post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy may also impact COVID-19 patients.
