ABSTRACT
Central nervous system infectious and metabolic disease is a vast domain. We have chosen to focus particularly on five pathological conditions brain abscess, herpes encephalitis, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, posterior reversible encephalopathy and central pontine myelinolysis. We will pay particular attention to MRI signs and the specific sequences to use in each condition, in addition to the conventional sequences, in order to avoid diagnostic traps. Once the MRI exploration is complete, the diagnosis still cannot be established without knowing the clinical and metabolic context.
