Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Anthony Gallo, B.S. [2]; Contributor(s): Irfan Dotani [3]

Overview

On other imaging findings, St. Louis encephalitis is characterized by generalized slowing without focal activity, a persistent vegetative state, and brain death.^[1]^[2]

Other Imaging Findings

EEG

Electroencephalographic results often show generalized slowing without focal activity. Electroencephalograph may be helpful in determining whether the patient remains in a persistent vegetative state or is brain-dead.^[1]^[2]
