Percutaneous minidose metrizamide endomyelographic computed tomography in syringomyelia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Herpes virus encephalitis is a rare, life-threatening complication of therapy in patients with brain tumors. A surgical therapeutic approach may be needed because the infection can be resistant to acyclovir in immunocompromised patients, and complications and long-term sequelae are frequent.
