✦ Synopsis

A case of herpes encephalitis predominating in the right temporal lobe with unusual angiographic changes is reported. Carotid angiography revealed a right temporal mass with vascular blush and early venous filling through irregular veins. Early venous filling and vascular blush have been known for a long time with cerebral inflammatory disease, but venous drainage through irregular veins is unusual.
