It is known that meningoencephalitis is the disease usually characterized by a hstory of headache, high fever and disturbance of consciousness. Its cause is usually virus. In most cases, inflammatory reaction involve the brain diffusely, but occasionally involve brain locally. In those cases in whom inflammatory reaction involved brain locally, specific symptoms appear according to the location involved. Clinically, we can suspect the site of brain where inflammatory reaction involved, according to clinical symptoms. We experienced a case of meningoencephalitis with downbeat nystagmus implying that the inflammatory lesion involve pontomedullary junction. It was confirmed by MRI. So, we report it with review of literatures.
