- Abstract
- A 58-year-old woman was admitted to hospital due to memory impairment and visuospatial dysfunction. Brain MRI
revealed high signal lesions on both the temporal and inferior frontal lobes. She was diagnosed as having herpes simplex
encephalitis based on her clinical and laboratory findings. Twelve months later she still presented with spatial
disorientation, although her amnesia was improved. Neuropsychological testing revealed multiple cognitive
impairments, and especially visuospatial dysfunction. This patient represents a case of herpes simplex encephalitis
associated with spatial disorientation even when the amnesia had disappeared. Key Words: Herpes simplex encephalitis, Spatial disorientation, Visual hallucination
