+==Overview==
+On CT scan, Japanese encephalitis is characterized by symmetric or asymmetric [[bilateral]] [[thalamus|thalamic]] hypodensities, and possibly [[subacute]] or [[chronic]] [[hemorrhagic]] [[lesion]]s
-Bilateral thalamic involvement is classical regardless of CT or MR imaging. Other areas may be involved are midbrain, pons, cerebellum, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex and spinal cord. However, imaging within 3-4 days of the onset of disease may not reveal haemorrhagic lesions.
