1 The Department of Pediatrics, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York.

A case of probable encephalitis in a 20-month-old female infant with bizarre manifestations pointing primarily to involment of the mesencephalon and cerebellum is described. Similarities to the so-called electric chorea of Dubini and Bergeron, the myoclonic and the acute cerebellar forms of encephalitis are discussed.
