Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Saint Louis encephalitis. Findings on MRI are suggestive of Saint Louis encephalitis include substantia nigra edema and restricted diffusion in the basal ganglia and thalamus.

MRI

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Saint Louis encephalitis. Findings on MRI are suggestive of Saint Louis encephalitis include substantia nigra edema and restricted diffusion in the basal ganglia and thalamus. Other symptoms visible on the MRI are:

Seizures or other abnormalities.
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
Substantia nigra edema.
T2 hyperintensity in the basal ganglia and thalamus.
Haemorrhage.
Diffuse tremulousness

-The electroencephalograms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of our patients revealed features that have received little attention in previous studies. Of the 9 patients who were examined with electroencephalography, all 9 had seizures or other abnormalities, and 1 had nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Two of 6 patients who had MRIs showed substantia nigra edema. Finally, 2 (18%) of our patients had coinfection with the human immunodeficiency virus.

-The MRI findings of substantia nigra edema in patients with SLE have not been previously reported. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus can occur in patients with SLE and should be considered in patients with prolonged encephalopathy. Finally, human immunodeficiency virus coinfection may be a risk factor for symptomatic SLE infection.
