Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) belongs to the human herpesvirus family and is ubiquitously found in the adult human population. The most common clinical manifestation of EBV is the syndrome of infectious mononucleosis. Central nervous system involvement by EBV is rare, with very few cases of EBV encephalitis reported in the literature. The majority of these cases report cerebral cortical changes on magnetic resonance imaging. We present a rare case of EBV encephalitis in a young patient with meningitis-like symptoms and cerebellar hemorrhage on magnetic resonance imaging.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)属于人类疱疹病毒家族,在成年人群中普遍存在。EBV最常见的临床表现是传染性单核细胞增多症综合征。EBV累及中枢神经系统较为罕见,文献中报道的EBV脑炎病例极少。这些病例大多数在磁共振成像上显示大脑皮质改变。我们报告了一例罕见的EBV脑炎病例,患者为年轻患者,有类似脑膜炎的症状,磁共振成像显示小脑出血。
