Overview
MRI is the imaging modality of choice for St. Louis encephalitis. Findings of St. Louis encephalitis include substantia nigra edema, hemmorage, and restricted diffusion in the basal ganglia and thalamus.
MRI
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of St. Louis encephalitis. Findings on MRI include:[1][2][3]
- Seizures or other abnormalities
- Nonconvulsive status epilepticus
- Substantia nigra edema
- T2 hyperintensity in the basal ganglia and thalamus
- Hemorrhage
- Diffuse tremulousness
