摘 要：Influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) can perform as varying patterns of neuroimaging. Central brain herniation (CBH) secondary to IAE is rare;it may be a bad prognosis. Here, we presented a 4-year-old girl with influenza who had a pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) history;she performed the second Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on Day 6 from onset, showed the diffuse edema and the occurrence of central herniation;the medulla was “Z-like folded and the basal cisterns were obliterated completely. Finally she was declared dead. The imbalance between supratentorial and infratentorial pressure can lead to the occurrence of CBH. Severe edema relates to IAE and unstable structure of the posterior fossa might be the main reason for the herniation. MRI is helpful in early diagnosis. Early treatment of cerebral edema in patients with congenital abnormalities of the posterior fossa is vital for their management.
