Craniectomía descompresiva en una paciente con encefalitis herpética asociada a hipertensión intracraneana refractaria

Herpetic encephalitis is the most common cause of viral encephalitis in our country. Pathological studies show progressive necrosis and edema in specific territories of the brain. The mortality of herpetic encephalitis was reduced from 70% to 20% with the use of intravenous aciclovir in the first th...

Pathological studies show progressive necrosis and edema in specific territories of the brain. The mortality of herpetic encephalitis was reduced from 70% to 20% with the use of intravenous aciclovir in the first three days of illness.
