MR FLAIR imaging of herpes simplex encephalitis.
We performed MRI of the brain with both conventional spin-echo (SE) and fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequences in two cases of herpes simplex encephalitis. The lesion conspicuity in the gray and white matter was found to be the greatest with FLAIR imaging.
