FIG 1
MRI findings suggestive of infectious meningoencephalitis. Coronal FLAIR (left) and postcontrast T1 (right) magnetic resonance imaging show subtle signs of inflammation, including hyperintense signal along multiple cerebral gyri and contrast enhancement throughout the arachnoid space, outlining multiple cerebellar folia and scattered cerebral sulci (examples shown by solid arrows). The dentate nuclei of the cerebellum also have abnormal signal (dashed arrows).
