Fig. 1. MRI findings. The initial MRI revealed increased signal intensities in the splenium and genu of the corpus callosum and the cerebral cortex in DWI (A and B) and axial FLAIR imaging (C and D). Follow-up MRI performed 1 month later revealed complete resolution of the abnormal DWI signals (E and F), but persistent lesion hyperintensities with some atrophic changes were observed on axial FLAIR images (G and H) and sagittal T2-weighted images (I). DWI: diffusion-weighted imaging, FLAIR: fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
