Résumé
Relapse of herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis rarely occurs after acyclovir treatment. We experienced a case of relapsing HSV encephalitis in the contralateral temporal lobe, resulting in Kluver-Bucy syndrome, after a full dose acyclovir treatment. Sudden behavioral and emotional changes after HSV encephalitis treatment suggest relapsing HSV encephalitis as well as temporal lobe epilepsy.

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) usually presents with progressive cognitive decline and parkinsonism. We report a 68-year-old man who showed parkinsonism including resting tremor and mild cognitive decline. After anticholinergic medication, he showed recurrent visual hallucination. Neuropsychological tests revealed frontal and memory impairments. PET showed hypometabolism in the primary visual and visual association cortices. It is necessary to consider the possibility of DLB as well as anticholinergic side effect when visual hallucination occurs during the treatment of parkinsonism.
