Summary
Herpes simplex encephalitis in a child showed white matter changes on MRI during the subacute phase. Proton MR spectroscopy revealed improving neuronal recovery over one year following complete clinical recovery.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pediatric Neurology
- Neuroimaging
Background:
- Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a severe neurological infection.
- Long-term neuroimaging and spectroscopy findings in recovering pediatric HSE are not well-characterized.
