• Dengue encephalitis is a rare fatal condition caused by flavivirus that is common in endemic areas. • CNS involvement is known complication of dengue fever and shows imaging features of meningoencephalitis, few of them present as stroke or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. • In this exhibit we present complete spectrum of various imaging patterns of CNS involvement in Dengue encephalitis. • MRI features include : Meningeal /parenchymal enhancement, intraparenchymal hemorrhages, chorioretinal hemorrhage etc.  

Clinically verified patients suspected to have dengue encephalitis were subjected for MRI examination with post contrast evaluation. Etiopathogenesis of CNS involvement in dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Review of imaging features listed in literature. Atypical presentations of dengue encephalitis with emphasis on imaging findings of spinal cord involvement
