Overview
Findings on MRI suggestive of rabies include areas of increased T2 intensity (flare) may be seen in hippocampus, hypothalamus, and brainstem.
MRI
Findings on MRI suggestive of rabies include:
- Areas of increased T2 signaling may be seen in:[1]
- Rabies encephalitis may involve
- Increased T2 signal predilection for the basal ganglia, thalami, hypothalami, brainstem, limbic system, and spinal cord as well as the frontal and parietal lobes
- In paralytic rabies, involvement of the spinal cord and medulla may be more pronounced
