Description

The evaluation of a patient with mumps encephalitis by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is reported. Correlation of findings on MR and CT in relation to clinical symptoms is presented. MR was found to be more sensitive in the number of lesions detected (11) as compared to CT (3). Thus, it seems that MR imaging may be a sensitive diagnostic adjunct in cases of suspected viral encephalitis. (orig.)
