“…SPECT performed for our first patient showed a remarkable decline in cerebellar blood flow. In reported acute cerebellitis patient, marked hyperperfusion in SPECT by ECD was reported with no abnormalities on conventional MRI in the acute phase [6]. Acute cerebellitis may be diagnosed on DWI or SPECT.…”

“…DWI abnormalities and SPECT were not described in these articles. Diffuse hyperintensity in the cerebellum on DWI is reported in acute cerebellitis patients with no abnormalities on conventional MRI [6,10]. Donmez et al reported a patient of acute cerebellitis that was diagnosed only on DWI by demonstrating lower ADC values [3].…”

“…Of the two HHV-6 subtypes (A and B), disease caused by type A is less well understood, whereas type B is mainly associated with exanthema subitum, a benign disease. Occasionally, when the CNS is affected, febrile seizures are also observed [Kato et al, 2003]. There are several reports of HHV-6 involvement in acute encephalitis and meningitis [Ahtiluoto et al, 2000;Isaacson et al, 2005].…”

“…Febrile seizures were reported in approximately 10% of children with primary HHV-6 infection, representing 10 to 20% of febrile seizure cases in children under 2 years old (22,29,154,218,426 (185,196,202,278,378,445). One case report describing an infant with afebrile convulsions due to primary infection with HHV-6B demonstrated that HHV-6 infection can have a direct effect on the brain, causing convulsions in the absence of fever (459).…”
