Overview
Fatal post-viral neurodegenerative disorders represent a rare but severe complication following viral infections, characterized by rapid progression to neurodegeneration leading to significant morbidity and mortality. These conditions highlight the potential for viruses to trigger irreversible brain damage 1.Diagnosis
