The rates of overdiagnosis of stroke in studies of consecutive patients vary from 19% to 31%. The two most common stroke mimics are hypoglycemia and seizure, but several etiologies have been reported.We reported the case of a 41-year-

Herpes varicella zoster encephalitis in immunocompromised patients

Neurology, 1999
The authors describe specific MRI features that suggest the diagnosis of varicella zoster encephalitis. MRI initially revealed discrete, subcortical, nonenhancing lesions that coalesced and developed enhancement. Gray matter involvement was seen later. Autopsy revealed spherical lesions of demyelination and hemorrhagic cavitation confirmed as varicella
