RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 West Nile Virus: Case Report with MR Imaging Findings JF American Journal of Neuroradiology JO Am. J. Neuroradiol. FD American Society of Neuroradiology SP 1376 OP 1378 VO 24 IS 7 A1 Humberto Rosas A1 Franz J. Wippold II YR 2003 UL http://www.ajnr.org/content/24/7/1376.abstract AB Summary: We report a case of serologically proved West Nile virus encephalitis. Striking bilateral hyperintensities were noted in the basal ganglia and thalami on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR images, similar to previous accounts of the imaging findings in cases of Japanese encephalitis. Recognition of the MR imaging appearance of this entity is important because of the expanding epidemic.
