Abstract:
Petechial cortical hemorrhages are common in Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis, however, cerebral hematoma is extremely rare. We report a case of a 47-year-old immunocompetent woman diagnosed with herpes encephalitis but complicated by cerebral hematoma despite of early diagnosis and treatment.
