Die Herpes-simplex-Enzephalitis im Computertomogramm

Abstract
Referring to 9 patients of our own material we report on the pattern of distribution and the development of CT-changes in Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Our cases include the outstanding findings of a primarily hemorrhagic HSE and an extensive calcification at the residual stage on the borderline of widespread tissue necrosis on a baby. With respect to literature we receive a quite homogeneous picture, reflecting the crucial characteristics of the disease as known from neuropathology.
