A case of cerebral infarction after viper bite is described; the patient also had features of diffuse encephalopathy. Findings on MRI were suggestive of subacute hemorrhagic infarcts. Possible mechanisms for cerebral infarction in these circumstances were discussed. The mechanism of cerebral infarction in this case seemed to be vasospasm due to the action of the toxin, hemorrhagin, present in the venom.
A patient with acute cerebellar ataxia after enteric fever is described. MRI showed multiple hypointense areas in the subcortical areas of the cerebellum on T1-weighted images, and T2-weighted images showed hyperintense lesions in the corresponding areas. Based on these findings, the possible mechanisms of ataxia are discussed.
