Navigating diagnostic challenges: imaging strategies for herpes simplex encephalitis in resource limited settings: A case report
Radiol Case Rep. 2024 Mar 13;19(6):2183-2187. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2024.02.060. eCollection 2024 Jun.ABSTRACTEncephalitis refers to the inflammatory condition affecting the brain parenchyma, leading to various neurological impairments. It can have various causes: infectious, postinfectious, and noninfectious origins. In this case, we present a 76-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with complaints of headache and behavioral changes. Initially, a Computed Tomography (CT) scan raised suspicion of herpes simplex encephalitis and prompted the initiation of treatment. Subsequently, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ...

Autoimmune encephalitis in Israeli children - A retrospective nationwide study
Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2024 Mar 15;50:1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpn.2024.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImmune-mediated or autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a relatively new, rare and elusive form of encephalitis in children. We retrospectively collected seropositive children (0-18 years old) with well characterized antibodies through 3 reference laboratories in Israel. Clinical symptoms, MRI and EEG findings and treatment courses were described. A total of 16 patients were included in the study, with 10 females. Anti NMDA encephalitis was most common followed by anti HU and anti mGLuR1. Psychiatric symptoms, abnormal move...
