MRI of herpes simplex encephalitis

Neuroradiology, 1992
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in eight patients with herpes simplex meningoencephalitis were reviewed: 14 examinations were analysed. The most striking finding was high signal intensity in the temporal lobe(s) with the typical configuration known from CT.

Recurrent herpes simplex encephalitis

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2005
Recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis is a rare disorder with only a few cases reported. We report a case of HSV encephalitis with documented recurrence in the same anatomic location, lending support to the theory of reactivation as the mechanism of disease.

Electroencephalography in Herpes Simplex Encephalitis

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1988
The EEG in the acute stage of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) can show a variety of abnormalities, including uni- or bilateral periodic sharp waves or attenuation of amplitude, focal or generalized slow waves or epileptiform discharges, or electrical seizures.

Relapse of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis

Neuropediatrics, 1987
This report describes a child with herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis who improved dramatically while being treated with acyclovir but subsequently had neurological deterioration and died. A severe necrotizing process was present in the brain at autopsy but there were no focal areas of demyelination and poor inflammatory response.

Herpes simplex encephalitis and radiotherapy

Pediatric Neurology, 2003
The pathogenesis underlying the reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus remains undefined. This article presents the case of a 15-year-old male who developed herpes simplex encephalitis, as proven by a positive cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction and supported by magnetic resonance imaging findings during radiotherapy for pontine glioma ...

Relapse of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis

Journal of Child Neurology, 1995
We report five children who had recurrent central nervous system signs after conventional acyclovir therapy for herpes simplex encephalitis. Secondary exacerbation was characterized clinically by severe ballismic movement disorder in all five children, associated with fever, impairment of consciousness, and seizures.

Herpes simplex encephalitis and sarcoidosis

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1979
Fatal herpes simplex encephalitis occurring in a patient with sarcoidosis is described. Ultrastructural study of brain tissue revealed the presence of herpesvirus particles. The association of these 2 diseases has not been recorded before. The encephalitis in this case probably represents an opportunistic viral infection in the face of depressed ...
