Scope note: Proceso inflamatorio agudo (o, con poca frecuencia, crónico) del cerebro debido a infecciones por HERPES SIMPLE que pueden ser mortales. La mayoría de las infecciones están causadas por el HERPESVIRUS 1 HUMANO y con menor frecuencia por el HERPESVIRUS 2 HUMANO. Clínicamente se manifiesta por FIEBRE, CEFALEAS, CONVULSIONES, ALUCINACIONES, trastornos de la conducta, AFASIA, hemiparesia y COMA. Desde el punto de vista anatomopatológico, esta enfermedad se caracteriza por una necrosis hemorrágica que afecta al LÓBULO TEMPORAL (zona medial e inferior) y la región orbitaria del LÓBULO FRONTAL.

Scope note: An acute (or rarely chronic) inflammatory process of the brain caused by SIMPLEXVIRUS infections which may be fatal. The majority of infections are caused by human herpesvirus 1 (HERPESVIRUS 1, HUMAN) and less often by human herpesvirus 2 (HERPESVIRUS 2, HUMAN). Clinical manifestations include FEVER; HEADACHE; SEIZURES; HALLUCINATIONS; behavioral alterations; APHASIA; hemiparesis; and COMA. Pathologically, the condition is marked by a hemorrhagic necrosis involving the medial and inferior TEMPORAL LOBE and orbital regions of the FRONTAL LOBE. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp751-4)
