Neuropathology of viral infections of the central nervous system.
Many viral infections of the nervous system cause stereotyped pathologic features and overlapping clinical and imaging features. Neuroimaging usually offers neuroanatomical localization of the pathology, degree of involvement of the nervous system, and response to therapy during follow up in a few instances. Neuroimaging is a useful adjunct for diagnosis.
