The DWI and FLAIR severity scores appear highly prognostic, whereas percentage ADC reduction is moderately prognostic for clinical outcomes in pediatric acute toxic leukoencephalopathy. Immunosuppressive pediatric acute toxic leukoencephalopathy tends toward favorable outcomes, and fludarabine tends toward worse outcomes.
