HSV-Encephalitis Resembling Acute Cerebral Infarction in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation, Beware of Stroke Mimics
Neurologist 27:30-33, Kargiotis,O.,et cl, 2022
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
HSV-encephalitis might occasionally result in the development of unilateral brain MRI lesions with extensive cytotoxic edema, resembling an acute ischemic stroke. Therefore, HSV-encephalitis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke with atypical presentation. The presence of a significant dissociation between the brain MRI lesion volume and the neurological deficits, as well certain brain MRI imaging discrepancies might serve as ?red flags? to extend the diagnostic workup.
