Magnetic resonance imaging spectrum of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis: Four case reports

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging brain findings in a 40-year-old male patient who presented with fever and altered sensorium. A-C: T2-weighted axial images showing multifocal subcortical and deep white matter hyperintensities in bilateral cerebral hemispheres associated with involvement of right hypothalamus; D-F: Corresponding axial Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images showing similar findings as seen on T2-weighted images; G and H: Axial T2-weighted and FLAIR images showing hyperintensity involving pons and bilateral middle cerebellar peduncles; I: T2 weighted sagittal image showing hyperintense lesions involving midbrain, pons, medulla and scanned part of the cervical spinal cord; J: T1-weighted axial image showing hypointensity in the involved areas with internal hyperintense areas suggestive of hemorrhages; K: Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) axial phase image showing a negative phase effect within white matter lesions indicative of hemorrhages; L: T1-weighted post-contrast axial image showing no enhancement in the affected regions.
