Abstract
The authors present two cases of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in which computerized tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. They also review the literature on the use of these imaging modalities in cases of HSE. The striking changes noted in these cases on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images in comparison to the CT findings suggest that MRI will help speed recognition of nonhemorrhagic HSE abnormalities.Keywords
