Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We sought to identify the initial MR findings of herpes simplex
encephalitis in infants and young children.
CONCLUSION. MR imaging findings of herpes encephalitis in infants and young
children appear to differ from those seen in neonates, older children, and
adults. Appreciation of this MR imaging pattern coupled with a strong clin
ical suspicion of herpes helps to ensure the correct diagnosis is made.
