COVID-19 emerging as a global pandemic is a complex disease presenting with multiorgan involvement.AHNE is a rarely reported phenomenon post COVID-19 infection but is a rapidly progressing, fatal, haemorrhagic necrosis of the CNS parenchyma. Here,we present a very interesting case of a cirrhotic male patient with acute hemorraghic necrotizing encephalopathy with COVID-19 infection. Diagnosis of AHNE requires a multimodality approach and high index of suspicion in a patient suffering from SARS CoV-2.Timely intervention and diagnosis may lead to a favourable outcome in the diagnosed cases.Future detailed studies in this direction may give an insight on this rare but important disease entity.
