“…In addition, evidence of focal pathology may suggest ischaemic stroke or an alternative aetiology (for example, frontotemporal pathology in herpes simplex encephalitis,46 or thalamic involvement in Japanese B47 or Epstein–Barr48 encephalitis). There may be a case for additional sequences, for example, fluid attenuated inversion recovery,49 50 diffusion weighted imaging, magnetic resonance angiography or venography. It is important to remember that children who have been non-accidentally injured may present in unexplained coma with or without seizures 51…”

“…In den T 2 −gewichteten MR−Sequenzen oder in FLAIR−Sequenzen findet man bereits sehr früh deutliche Signalanhebungen in den typi− schen temporobasalen (limbischen) Strukturen und im Bereich des frontalen Gyrus cinguli rechts (Abb. 9) [55,56]. Eine KM−An− reicherung fehlt häufig.…”

“…Regardless of the mechanism by which HSV-1 is transmitted to the brain, HSE commonly is associated with neuroimaging findings (focal hyperintensities on T2-weighted [28], fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [29,30], and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging [31]) in the same areas in which the neuropathology of this illness is greatest. Electroencephalography during the initial period of HSE usually shows generalized slowing or focal slowing over the temporal lobes, but quickly evolves to a pattern of periodic (2-3 second interepisodic interval), lateralizing, epileptiform discharges [5].…”
