Abstract

A case of neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis is reported in which diffuse cerebral hemorrhagic lesions were seen in the neonatal period. Severe progressive cortical atrophy with parenchymal calcification developed over the subsequent 9 months, resulting in a striking computed tomography (CT) appearance. The range of CT findings in neonatal HSV encephalitis is reviewed, and differential diagnostic considerations in the present case are discussed.
