Abstract
Since the outbreak of novel influenza A (H1N1) in 2009, various neurological complications
have been cited. We described a male patient with H1N1-associated encephalopathy/encephalitis
presenting with severe neurological symptoms and signs. Residual neurological sequelae
were dominant. This is the first report of extensive cortical–subcortical necroses
over the bilateral frontal–parietal areas based on an MRI study.
