Association With Misleading Findings on Computerized Tomography

Ram S. Singh, MD; Edward B. Silberstein, MD

Arch Neurol. 1980;37(6):381-383.

Abstract
• We describe subacute periventricular encephalitis manifesting as dementia in an adult with a radionuclide brain scan showing "ventriculitis." Cranial computed tomography erroneously indicated an infiltrative tumor. We emphasize the use of conservative management rather than surgical exploration.
