Figures

Images in a 58-year-old woman with acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) associated with acute SARS-COV-2 infection. Brain MRI without contrast 15 weeks after ANE onset. MRI demonstrates residual T2 FLAIR hyperintensity within the thalami (A, white arrow) with residual hemosiderin deposition indicated by hypointense signal intensity on susceptibilityweighted images (B, white arrow). C, Earlier T2 hyperintensities in the bilateral medial temporal lobes had resolved.
