Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) treatment can be complicated by pulmonary embolism, requiring anticoagulation. This case highlights a potential risk of intracranial hemorrhage during anticoagulation for HSE, necessitating further research.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a severe neurological condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Effective management strategies for HSE are crucial to improve patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old patient with HSE presented with fever, seizures, and headaches.
  • The patient developed a pulmonary embolism during hospitalization, prompting the initiation of anticoagulation therapy.
  • Following anticoagulation, a right temporal hematoma occurred in an area of abnormal MRI signal.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful craniotomy and hematoma evacuation with a positive postoperative course.
  • This case illustrates a potential complication of anticoagulation in the context of HSE.

Implications:

  • The safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in HSE patients require further investigation.
  • Clinical guidelines may need to be updated to address the risks and benefits of anticoagulation in HSE.
