A rare case of cerebral probable viral inflammatory process in a patient with the Hodgkin's disease has been presented. The diagnosis of the neurological disorder was based on the clinical course of the disease, the dynamics of the process observed in CT and MRI examinations. The pathogen was not identified in bacteriological and viral tests. Hodgkin's disease restricted to the spleen was diagnosed in postmortem examination. The presented case demonstrates variability of the clinical picture and difficulties in diagnosing viral encephalitis.
