Acute opercular syndrome is a rare described syndrome caused by a sudden damage of the cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter, located around the insula. A rare cause of this syndrome can be an infectious agent, particularly herpes simplex virus. Quick diagnosis and immediate initiation of treatment significantly reduce the risk of neurological consequences and mortality. We present a case of encephalitis of unknown etiology and severe course, with the symptoms of acute opercular syndrome in 4-year-old boy.
急性岛盖综合征是一种罕见的综合征,由位于脑岛周围的大脑皮质和皮质下白质突然受损引起。该综合征的一个罕见病因可能是感染因子,尤其是单纯疱疹病毒。快速诊断并立即开始治疗可显著降低神经后遗症和死亡率的风险。我们报告一例病因不明且病情严重的脑炎病例,该病例为一名4岁男孩,具有急性岛盖综合征的症状。
