|

Abstract
|
|
|
Viral neuritis due to herpes simplex type 1 has been well documented. The virus lies dormant within the gasserian ganglion of the trigeminal nerve. Retrograde spread into the brainstem is rare. This has been referred to as rhombencephalitis. The
reported cases of rhombencephalitis detected by MR are very rare. So we report a case of viral rhombencephalitis which was diagnosed by MR.
A 35 year-old female patient was admitted due to dizziness, nausea, tinnitus(Lt.), hearing impairment(Lt.), and hypoesthesia on the left face, which were similar to the symptoms of acoustic neuroma. MR showed the enhanced high signal intensity in
left
middle cerebellar peduncle. One month after treatment. The symptoms resolved Follow-up MR showed the decreased high signal intensity.
We report this case with review of the literature.
