Case report: Intravascular large B cell lymphoma mimicking acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis after SARS-CoV-2 reinfection: diagnostic value of advanced MRI techniques and the literature review with the assistance of ChatGPT.

ABSTRACT: The intravascular large B cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of lymphoma. The IVBCL is usually found with systemic involvement, with a relative predilection for skin and the central nervous system (CNS), followed by a rapidly progressive course and poor prognosis with a high mortality rate. IVLBCL is difficult to diagnose based on conventional MRI alone. Herein, we presented a previously healthy 59-year-old woman who developed hemiparesis and altered mental status after her reinfection of SARS-CoV-2. The initial MRI revealed non-enhancing lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum (CC), periventricular, and bilateral subcortical white matter with hyperintensity on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). The patient was diagnosed with subacute infarction, and she was treated with antith
