Abstract:
We present the magnetic resonance imaging findings of an eight-year-old boy with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encephalitis, with special attention to lesion neuroanatomic distribution, diffusion-weighted images, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). T2 and FLAIR-weighted images showed bilateral and symmetric basal nuclei lesions, with diffusion facilitation. MRS of the lesions demonstrated elevated lactate/lipid and excitatory neurotransmitters. The purpose of this report is to alert to this imagiologic pattern of EBV infection, and in particular to the fact that facilitated diffusion does occur on EBV encephalitis.
