Sammanfattning
X : We report a patient with acute encephalitis of unknown causation who underwent hemicraniectomy because of threatening herniation. The patient recovered uneventfully and three weeks later, findings on neurological examination were normal. Hemicraniectomy should be considered in all patients with encephalitis and threatening herniation.
