Fig 1.
Suppression of ventricular fluid signal by using the FLAIR sequence unmasked the abnormality hidden by the conventional T2-weighted sequence. A, Axial FLAIR image, revealing a discrete thin band of signal intensity hyperintensity in the anterior subependymal region of the splenium. B, T2-weighted image, showing that CSF signal intensity obscured assessment of the anterior splenium (arrow).
