Figure 1

Sequential T2- weighted FLAIR MRI Brain imaging. a) Nodularly enhancing lesions on initial presentation in the i) right anterior temporal cortex and ii) right cerebellum. Subcortical U-fibre high signal intensity lesion in the right frontoparietal area as shown by T2- weighted FLAIR MRI. b) Marked interval increase in the signal hyperintensities demonstrated by T2- weighted FLAIR MRI in i) frontal, parietal and temporal lobes and the ii) cortical and subcortical/deep white matter of the occipital lobes following acute deterioration and consistent with PRES. c) Interval reduction of signal hyperintensities as shown by T2- weighted FLAIR MRI in i) parietal and ii) occipital lobes demonstrating resolving vasogenic oedema.
