Post-transplant acute limbic encephalitis caused by HHV-6: Coronal FLAIR magnetic resonance images
Post-transplant acute limbic encephalitis caused by HHV-6: Coronal FLAIR magnetic resonance images
Coronal FLAIR magnetic resonance images demonstrate the focality of the encephalitis, which can be traced bilaterally from the uncus through the hippocampal body and into the fornix. The amygdala is partly affected and the parahippocampal gyrus is conspicuously spared. The left side of each image corresponds to the right side of the brain.
HHV-6: human herpesvirus 6; FLAIR: fluid attenuation inversion recovery.
