Abstract

Viral encephalitis is an acute inflammatory process affecting the brain and caused by viruses. It affects any age group from children to old aged people. The presenting features are fever, headache, seizure, loss of consciousness and other neurological features. For the diagnosis of viral encephalitis magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) along with clinical features, laboratory investigations on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum plays a significant role. MRI is helpful in identification of particular causative organism and also in differentiating the mimickers. The present case series highlighted the some characteristic MRI features of common viral encephalitis.
