Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in the Early Diagnosis of EBV Meningoencephalitis A Case Report

We describe the case of a girl with EBV encephalitis diagnosed promptly with the help of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). DWI is a rapid pulse sequence that must be added to the routine MR imaging regimen in patients with suspected meningoencephalitis. It can improve the sensitivity of lesion detection and assist in lesion characterization.
