Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system are often challenging to diagnose. Necrotizing meningoencephalitis, necrotizing leukoencephalitis, and granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis have characteristic locations of lesions on histopathologic examination and, therefore, characteristic findings from advanced imaging. Together with clinical signs and clinicopathologic data, these characteristic imaging findings may aid in establishing an accurate antemortem diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis can lead to initiation of treatment using a combination of immunosuppressive drugs.
中枢神经系统的炎症性疾病往往难以诊断。坏死性脑膜脑炎、坏死性白质脑炎和肉芽肿性脑膜脑脊髓炎在组织病理学检查中有特征性的病变部位，因此在高级影像学检查中有特征性表现。结合临床体征和临床病理数据，这些特征性影像学表现可能有助于在生前做出准确诊断。及时诊断可促使使用免疫抑制药物联合进行治疗。
