Abstract

Adenovirus is a DNA virus that causes many different clinical features in children. Adenovirus meningoencephalitis is a rare clinical picture. Adenovirus was detected in CSF PCR of a 5.5-month-old girl who was admitted to our pediatric emergency department due to fever, diarrhea and convulsions. Cranial MRI revealed centrum semiovale, occipital lobe involvement and dural sinus thrombosis. The patient was treated with anticoagulants. It was emphasized that adenovirus encephalitis was accompanied by dural sinus thrombosis.
