A 58-year-old afebrile woman was admitted to our hospital because of progressive right hemiparesis and aphasia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a single ring-enhanced lesion in the left frontal lobe. It w...

متن کاملShort reports High-grade glioma mimicking acute viral encephalitis − three case reports
Viral encephalitis is characterised by headache, confusion, altered consciousness with or without seizures, and fever. The most commonly identified cause of sporadic communityacquired encephalitis is herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I, which may be diagnosed on viral culture of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis looking for HSV DNA, serological testing for IgM an...
