title: [Brain stem encephalitis (author's transl)].
abstract: Basing on a case of brain stem encephalitis in a girl of 7 1/2 years of age, the features of this disease pattern are described. The initially found disturbance of the blood brain barrier provides a clue to the possible pathogenesis of the disease in association with the pattern of clinical signs, namely, an inflammatory-hyperergic reaction of the neurovascular system in the brain stem.
