Abstract
Brainstem encephalitis is a rare disease and patients typically present with symptoms of areflexia, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. We experienced a case of brainstem encephalitis in a 7 years old girl, who presented with diplopia and headache. It can be reliably confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and CSF analysis. We report a case of brainstem encephalitis in a child, with a brief review of literature.
Key Words: Brainstem encephalitis, Diplopia, Headache
