Abstract: We report a preterm infant diagnosed with a late-onset
Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis and necrotizing meningo-encephalitis who died at
the age of 12 days as a consequence of multiple organ failure. In this case report we show the importance of the application of different advanced MRI
modalities. On the basis of the MRI findings, clinical presentation, and
laboratory data, the diagnosis of a necrotizing encephalopathy secondary to
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection was established.
