What are the MR imaging features of Nipah encephalitis across different phases of the illness?
MR imaging is a sensitive diagnostic tool for Nipah encephalitis, revealing distinct patterns of discrete white matter lesions in acute phases and confluent cortical involvement in relapsed or late-onset cases.
Sarji et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Nipah encephalitis (n=31). MR imaging was evaluated on Abnormalities on FLAIR sequences. MR imaging revealed abnormalities in 100% of Nipah encephalitis patients, showing discrete subcortical lesions in acute phases and confluent cortical involvement in relapsed cases.
