Figure 1. MRI features and immunopathology
MRI features (A, B). Brain MRI obtained in 2007 showed an already severe pontocerebellar atrophy in sagittal T1- (A) and axial T2- (B) weighted images. Hot cross bun sign, marked enlargement of cerebellar sulci, fourth ventricle, and basal cisternae are evident in T2-weighted images (B). Immunopathology (C–F). Patient's breast cancer specimen (C, E) incubated with anti–inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1 (ITPR1) rabbit commercial antibody 1:1,000 (C) and control rabbit serum (E). The lymph node metastasis specimen (D, F) incubated with anti-ITPR1 rabbit commercial antibody 1:1,000 (D) and control rabbit serum (F). Magnification ×200.
