ABSTRACT
A case of brainstem encephalitis associated with a reactivated infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in a 7-year-old boy is reported. The patient was diagnosed based on the compatible clinical, cerebrospinal fluid and radiological findings and the serological results for EBV, had a favorable clinical course and showed a discrepancy between the course of the neurological features and the evolution of the imaging alterations. The apparent diffusion coefficient imaging revealed the brain stem lesion suggesting an autoimmune mechanism in the pathogenesis of the illness.
