Herpetic Meningoencephalitis Complicating the Resection of a Vestibular Schwannoma: A Case Report

ABSTRACT After surgery involving cranial nerves and more generally the central nervous system, nonbacterial meningitis should raise suspicion of herpes simplex virus type 1 reactivation. No time should be wasted in diagnosis and treatment; therefore, a polymerase chain reaction testing on cerebrospi...
