=== Summary ===
This paper describes MRI findings of Nipah encephalitis in 31 patients, revealing discrete high-signal-intensity lesions disseminated throughout the brain, mainly in the subcortical and deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. No mass effect or cerebral edema was seen.

=== Key Findings ===
* All patients studied had abnormalities on FLAIR sequences
* The main feature was discrete high-signal-intensity lesions measuring 2–7 mm in the subcortical and deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres
* There was no correlation with focal neurologic signs, depth of coma, or outcome of patients

=== Methodology ===
* '''Study Type:''' Case Study
* '''Sample Size:''' 31 patients
* '''Geographic Focus:''' Malaysia
* '''Time Period:''' Late September 1998 to April 1999

=== Topics ===
Radiology, Neurology, Virology

=== Relevance ===
The paper provides valuable information on MRI findings of Nipah encephalitis, aiding in its diagnosis and management.
