Figure 9 Viral encephalitis. A 10-year-old boy with fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, irritability. Coronal (A) and axial (B-D) T2 weighted images show multiple asymmetrical hyperintense areas at the level of the midbrain and pons. T1 weighted signal intensity of the lesions do not enhance after contrast agent administration (E-G). Note the typical MR pattern of viral encephalitis with a bilateral and symmetrical hyperintensity of the corpus striatum and of the left thalamus (A) at the supra-tentorial level. MR: Magnetic resonance.
