    • نبذة مختصرة :
      High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is serious, sometimes fatal clinical condition visualized in unacclimatized individuals climbing high altitudes. The current case report highlights a 39 year old male with a recent history of high-altitude mountain climbing and presented with memory impairment. The radiological findings revealed edema and microhemorrhages at genu and splenium of corpus callosum. Two months later the subject displayed complete resolution of edema, with persistent microhemorrhages. Herein, we report the radiological features of this rare clinical event. The lack of advanced imaging centers at higher altitudes elicit this clinical condition as less described entity.
