Can encephalitis be seen on ct?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
CT can be helpful: Head ct can show other causes of similar symptoms, such as evidence of elevated intracranial pressure , obstructive hydrocephalus, or mass effect due to focal brain infection or bleeding. Ct can also suggest some causes of encephalitis.

I ended up in hospital with encephalitis, a CT showed inflammation on the brain, I had an MRI five days after the initial diagnosis would you expect the MRI to show any trace of the encephalitis? If the MRI was clear would you rule encephalitis out?
