Figure 1
Figure 1
T2 (A) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (B) images demonstrate a central hyperintense lesion within the pons.
Figure 2
Figure 2
The lesion is hypointense on T1 (A) and hyperintense on diffusion-weighted imaging (B) sequences. Diffusion restriction is seen within 24 h of symptom onset. Sparing of the ventrolateral longitudinal fibres and corticospinal tracts is characteristic.
