The paper presents imaging studies in eight patients with polymerase chain reaction proven Herpes Simplex encephalitis (HSE). MRI studies in the acute phase of infection have presented both typical and unusual changes. 3-year follow-up results of imaging examinations have also been described. DWI (Diffusion-weighted Imaging) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) values in the course of HSE infection have been shown in addition to conventional MR studies. In the article, particular emphasis is put on the importance of ischemic changes during HSE infection, which have not been widely discussed so far.
