- Abstract
Rhombencephalitis refers to the inflammation of rhombencephalon, and Listeria monocytogenes is one of the causes of infectious rhombencephalitis. Listeria rhombencephalitis is a rare and severe infection with high mortality and morbidity. As the disease can present with a variety of neurological symptoms and nonspecific laboratory tests, it can easily be misdiagnosed. Sudden onset of neurological signs without fever can resemble stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging can be useful in patients for confirmation of the diagnosis and during the follow-up. Early diagnosis and treatment are especially important for improvement of the outcomes. Here we report a case with stroke-like presentation that was diagnosed as Listeria rhombencephalitis in follow-up and present the serial brain magnetic resonance imaging features.
