Abstract
A case of young women is described who developed clinical and MRI features of brainstem encephalitis in the setting of fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Lympha node biopsy revealed histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease) which may reflect host response to an unspecified immune insult.
