Abstract
We report a 12-year-old boy with unilateral meningoencephalitis due to non-herpes simplex virus. He experienced secondarily generalized partial seizures of the left extremities with loss of consciousness. In contrast with normal neuroimaging findings, interictal electroencephalograms (EEGs) showed prolonged slowing in the right hemisphere. This laterality agreed with the right brain dysfunction verified on neuropsychological examination. Follow-up EEG is important in such a subtle case with normal neuroimaging.
