Cranial magnetic resonance images without contrast enhancement at the time of admission. (A) T1-weighted image, (B) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image, (C) susceptibility-weighted image. T1-weighted imaging without contrast enhancement showed high signal intensity in the right putamen (arrowheads), which is compatible with diabetic haemichorea and haemiballism (HCHB). The putamen appeared to be intact on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging and susceptibility-weighted imaging, which implied that cerebral infarction or haemorrhage were much less likely diagnoses.
