Cerebritis due to Listeria monocytogenes: CT and MR findings

Y Aladro et al. Eur Radiol. 1996.

Abstract

Infections by Listeria monocytogenes are uncommon, with cerebritis being even rarer. We present three cases of cerebritis which occurred during an outbreak of listeriosis. The CT and MR findings at diagnosis and during follow-up are described. Predominant deep white matter lesions with nodular and ring enhancement were seen. The MR yielded a higher resolution of the lesions than CT.
