Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Herpes simplex meningoencephalitis is one of the most common viral central nervous system infection in adults. Early diagnosis is essential for treatment. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 68-year-old female patient with herpes simplex infection. On admission, she was in severe clinical condition. Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging detected brain involvement better than conventional sequences. After acyclovir therapy, the patient fully recovered. CONCLUSION: DW magnetic resonance imaging is expected to provide a more sensitive imaging in herpes simplex patients than conventional sequences. Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland, Ltd.
