Isotope encephalography in the management of acute herpesvirus encephalitis.
Two patients with Herpesvirus hominis (herpes simplex) encephalitis were investigated by serial isotope encephalograms using technetium-99m pertechnetate. In the first case the diagnosis was made by brain biopsy, and by successful tissue culture, and was confirmed by a significant rise in antibody titre, but in the second the laboratory evidence was exclusively serological. Necrotizing encephal...
متن کاملIsotope Encephalography: Experience with 100 Cases.
Isotopes have been used for the detection and location of intracranial lesions since 1948 (Moore, 1948). In 1947 Moore demonstrated that fluorescein injected intravenously was selectively absorbed by gliomas (astrocytomas) and other tumours. When an ultraviolet light was shone on the exposed brain, a glioma reaching the surface reflected a different colour-yellow -from the remainder of the brai...
متن کاملMRI and encephalography in fatal eastern equine encephalitis.
Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is the most severe of the mosquito-borne encephalitides, with a case fatality rate estimated at 36%. We describe 2 fatal cases of seropositive EEE in men. In both patients, EEG monitoring revealed periodic 0.25to 0.5-Hz transients with lower voltages (;20–40 mV) than typically seen in herpes encephalitis (;100–500 mV), and MRI revealed a symmetric pattern of T2...
متن کاملManagement of acute viral encephalitis in Brazil.
The appropriate management of acute viral encephalitis is a challenge. Clinical picture includes general symptoms and a wide range of neurological signs. Etiological diagnosis cannot be performed only by clinical means and depends on neuroimaging studies and cerebrospinal fluid molecular analyses. It is recommended since some of these viruses are treatable and that the prognoses of these infect...
