This is a case of a suspected autoimmune encephalitis. The main differential was an autoimmune encephalitis. Following the above imaging findings, an lumbar puncture was performed for CSF analysis, and then the patient was started on acyclovir. However, after several days of continued worsening encephalopathy (no response to acyclovir), the patient was found to be PCR negative for HSV, but showed elevated protein in the CSF. The patient was placed on IVIG and her symptoms began to improve on the same day.
