A, Extensive hyperintense T2 signal intensity is noted in the subcortical white matter and cortex of the occipital and parietal lobes and, to a lesser degree, in the frontal lobes. B, Regional cerebral blood volume colorized map shows markedly increased perfusion throughout the brain, with maximal perfusion shown posteriorly. Reprinted from Schwartz et al.
