Fig 1.
Conventional MRI. (A) T1IR and (B) FLAIR show subdural effusion (arrowheads). CE (C) T1IR does not show enhancement but (D) FLAIR shows a subtle enhancement in the subdural effusion area (arrows). MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; FLAIR, fluid attenuated inversion recovery; T1IR, T1 weighted inversion recovery.

Synthetic MRI. (A) T1IR and (B) FLAIR show subdural effusion (arrowheads). CE (C) T1IR shows subtle enhancements (arrows). CE (D) FLAIR and (E) DIR show a clear enhancement in the subdural effusion area (arrows). MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; T1IR, T1 weighted inversion recovery; DIR, double IR; CE, Contrast-enhanced.
