MR findings in listerial rhombencephalitis.
We describe a case of listerial rhombencephalitis in a previously healthy 40-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on the clinical findings, results of cerebrospinal fluid analysis, blood culture, and MR imaging findings. The treatment was started before culture results were available, and the patient had a full clinical recovery.
