AbstractNorovirus is a common cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. The disease can present with varying degrees of neurologic impairment from benign convulsions to rare cases of severe encephalopathy. We describe a case report of a North American infant who presented with norovirus gastroenteritis, status epilepticus, severe encephalopathy, and abnormal but reversible diffusion restriction changes on magnetic resonance imaging of brain.

AbstractThe Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon is a paradoxical neurological manifestation consisting of a motor deficit ipsilateral to a primary brain injury. It has been observed in patients with brain tumors and with supratentorial hematomas. It is considered a false localizing neurological sign. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan has been the test of choice. The recognition of this phenomenon is important to prevent a surgical procedure on the opposite side of the lesion. The present case report describes a case of chronic subdural hematoma with a probable finding of the Kernohan-Woltman phenomenon, and it discusses its pathophysiology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis.
