MR imaging changes at 28 hours (A, B) and 50 hours (C–H) after admission. At 28 hours, there is restricted diffusion in the left medial temporal lobe (A) and in the frontal, parietal, and parts of the occipital cortex (B). At 50 hours, there is prominent hippocampal (C), frontal, and parietal cortical and subcortical white matter (E, G) diffusion restriction with corresponding changes on the ADC map (D, F, H).
