We present a fatal case of amoebic encephalitis due to spp. in an immunosuppressed male. Amoebic encephalitis can be a diagnostic challenge as clinical features are non-specific and imaging findings resemble other more common diagnoses such as tumours, haemorrhage or encephalitis from other causes. Here, we present the diagnostic imaging findings in this case and review the reported imaging findings in other cases throughout the literature.
我们报告了一例免疫抑制男性因 属物种导致的致命性阿米巴性脑炎病例。阿米巴性脑炎可能是一个诊断难题，因为其临床特征不具特异性，影像学表现类似于其他更常见的诊断，如肿瘤、出血或其他原因引起的脑炎。在此，我们展示该病例的诊断性影像学表现，并回顾文献中其他病例报告的影像学表现。
