Abstract

Barış Adakli, Nedim Çekmen and Tolga Tezer

Viral encephalopathy is a very rare, but a serious neurologic condition. We present a patient who was admitted to our hospital because of drowsiness, memory disturbances, non-compliance, and disorientation. Treatment with methylprednisolone pulse treatment facilitated recovery without severe sequela. Therefore; when acute viral encephalopathy is actually suspected, steroid pulse therapy should be considered during the treatment.
