A case of urinary retention in the early stages of herpes simplex virus type-1 encephalitis
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 encephalitis is often accompanied by urinary retention [1 –5]; however, there are no reported cases in which urinary retention has appeared in the early stages of HSV-1 encephalitis as a sole complication of encephalitis prior to visible spinal abnormalities on gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images. We herein describe a such case in a 70-yea r-old man admitted to our emergency department.
